MusicLife is a turbulent thing without any doubt. We are facing many ups and downs on daily basis. Troubles at work, problems with money…all these things make us nervous, unhappy, and depressed.
“Mental health problems” is the phrase you can hear or read on every corner. However, do not like to use that phrase. We like to say – soul problems. Your soul is desperate to find a source of positive energy. Without it, you can have a clear mind, and, without a clear mind, you can’t find a solution to any problem at all.
We do know that most of you would like to travel around the world, spend time in luxurious places, drink expensive drinks, and eat different specialties. But most of us can’t really afford these things. Plus, are they really the source of happiness?
You should not be desperate because of it. Instead of that, you should look for those sources of motivation that are available to everyone. Guess what, there is one thing that can make you happy and is fully available to you – music!
Of course, if you have the chance, go to a concert or attend live music in some bar or restaurant. However, in today’s world, all you need is a stable Wi-Fi connection and eventually headphones for a better experience.
But why would you listen to music? Is it really beneficial for “soul health”? Without any doubt, the answer to that question is YES. The mental health benefits of music you can get are:
Things probably aren’t completely clear now. Because of that, we would like to explain each point of the list. Let’s go!
How To Improve Focus and Concentration | Jordan Peterson | Best Life Advice
How on earth does music improve focus? Well, this does not count for every type of music. It counts for classic and more relaxing tones. People can turn on the music on YouTube or any other streaming platform, close their eyes and focus. Repeating this exercise at least once a day will help you focus on some other tasks later during the same day.
Classic music may not help with mood improvement completely. However, listening to happy and quick songs certainly will. Generally speaking, it doesn’t even matter which genre you listen to. The memories each song you listen to can wake up are the ones that matter. Listen to songs that remind you of some beautiful moments. For instance, when you kissed a person that you liked, had fun with friends during vacation, etc.
There is also a scientific explanation of why music improves mood. As we stated, music wakes up some memories. Memories, on the other hand, support the improvement of a happy hormone known as dopamine. That only confirms that tips we share are correct!
Are you dealing with a lack of self-confidence? The easiest thing someone can tell you is “you have to fight and do that”. But, in reality, things are not as easy as they seem. You will find a bunch of motivational songs out there that can truly help you improve your self-esteem and confidence.
For example, some singers like to write songs about their path to success. They usually describe all the details throughout the text. Find those performers that were once in the same hole as you. Their rhymes will motivate you to work harder and serve as a piece of evidence that everything in life is possible!
Apart from focus, classic music can also help you relax. Apart from that, there are also sounds that are perfect for meditation and yoga. Meditation certainly can make you feel better, and music can make the atmosphere even better. Finding the appropriate music for this type of activity isn’t difficult at all. Just type “music for meditation” or follow individuals on social media that promote this activity as a mental health solution. They will probably know which options are the best ones.
Dealing with negative emotions is always hard. That especially counts if we talk about anger. When people are angry, they often start a quarrel with people they love. Logically, that only makes them even more unhappy.
Angry music can help you a lot! It is a perfect way to release negative energy and calm down. If you want additional help, then we recommend mixing angry music with exercising. Purchase the training equipment, or simply do some pushups at home in case you don’t want to go to the gym. Turn the volume a bit louder and repeat the process a couple of times during the week.
As you see, there is no need to spend millions of dollars to be happy. Working on your personal improvement in terms of soul health does not cost a lot. Music should be everywhere around you. If you are more of a traditional person, turn on the radio and find your favorite radio station.
We are all music lovers, aren’t we? It is true that we all like different singers, bands, and music genders. However, who says that the only option we have is to listen to our favorite songs? If you truly are a big music fan, then […]
MusicWe are all music lovers, aren’t we? It is true that we all like different singers, bands, and music genders. However, who says that the only option we have is to listen to our favorite songs? If you truly are a big music fan, then you should try out to learn to play some instrument. The question is – how?
Don’t worry, this does not have anything to do with talent. Of course, if you are a talented musician, things will be much easier at the beginning. However, even if things are difficult at the beginning, that doesn’t mean you won’t manage to reach the main goal.
Everything depends on your patience and the methods of learning you use. We do understand that most of our readers do not have a single clue about how the entire process looks. Because of that, we suggest you pass through a couple of steps. They are:
These 4 steps may seem easy in theory. However, we believe they deserve an additional explanation. Because of that, let’s expand the explanation for all of them and make the entire process even easier!
No, it is not easy to pick the right musical instrument at all. Most beginners usually make personal boundaries. They see that some instrument is difficult, and they give up before even starting the process. However, how do you know if something is complex or not if you haven’t even tried to play it?
First of all, playing instruments should be entertaining. That means you, as a beginner, should not focus on the technique of playing. Your task is to see which sounds make you feel nice. With these sounds in mind, you can try to imagine yourself playing it and try to figure out how everything will look.
Our recommendation is not to copy/paste people in your surroundings. We are all different and our tastes do not always match.
The word “goal” has two different meanings in this case.
First of all, you need to determine how exactly you plan to reach the main goal by dividing it into a few smaller ones. For instance, you need to know exactly what you want to achieve for 1, 2, 5, or 10 months. After you determine that, you will know how much time you need to spend each day practicing.
These guidelines should not be difficult and unrealistic. As we previously said, playing instruments should be something entertaining. Because of that, don’t make it tough with unrealistic personal expectations.
The second meaning of the word “goal” in this case is what exactly you plan to do with the knowledge that you will one day have. Is playing guitar, piano, or any other instrument going to be your hobby? Do you plan to, one day, start working and earning money this way?
Defining these details is extremely important. Professionals and amateurs can’t make the same steps and make progress in the same way.
Here comes the reason why we said you need to determine your goal. If you plan this to be your hobby, learning to play an instrument is going to be much easier. Fortunately for you, you live in the 21st century where all the pieces of information are available online. You can find free tutorials for almost any instrument on YouTube and other platforms. Apart from that, you can connect with someone else who knows how to play guitar and practice that way. You can gain some tricks that way and have even more fun (doing things with others is always more interesting than doing them alone).
But, if you plan to become a professional one day, things are completely different. Yes, you can make the first steps by checking tutorials online. Unfortunately, that is not going to be enough. You will need to ask for professional help. Finding a mentor that has a lot of experience is the best option.
There are no shortcuts here. Let’s say that you hired a professional to help you. If you truly want to become a successful musician one day, practicing only in classes is going to be a huge mistake. Playing the same song, again and again, is the key. It doesn’t matter if you learned it or not. You need to be 100% sure that you can play it in the middle of the night if necessary.
On the other hand, even if you plan to do this as a hobby, don’t stop practicing immediately after you play one song successfully a couple of times. Repeat it from time to time while you are learning another one.
Playing instruments can and can’t be easy at the same time. We suggest you apply all the pieces of advice shared in this article. That way, the entire process will be more entertaining, and you will make progress much quicker!

MusicMusicians are people like us. We do understand that most of you admire them a lot. There are those passionate fans that even consider musicians Gods. However, they are not too different from us. The only difference is that they are on the TV screen, and you are the one who regularly follows their public appearances. Of course, we are not going to talk about financial stability…
Anyway, just because the entire world knows who they are, that doesn’t mean their life has to be turbulent. They are human beings, and they have the same desires as you. For example, they want to relax the same way as you, spend more time in nature, drink a glass of good wine after the concert, etc. Something that certainly is in common for many of them is one activity that is popular around the globe – fishing.
There are multiple health benefits of fishing that people are not even aware of. For starters, it is relaxing and entertaining. You are spending more time in nature with people you love, having fun in silence, etc. In other words, it brings benefits that every human being would love to get.
So, why would music stars be different? Some of them could even gain motivation to write songs while fishing. The musicians that love to fish are
The mainstream media and online news portals have published photos of Hank Williams Jr. fishing with friends. He mostly likes to spend time this way with his friends such as Captain Jack Frye, and Capt. Krista.
Anyway, there is one interesting statement that the well-known musician gave to an interviewer a few years ago. Journalists like to ask questions such as “what would you be if you haven’t started your music career”. Well, Hank had a simple answer – fishing and hunting. Believe it or not, he even said that he does not book shows at all during the hunting season. You can only imagine how passionate he is about these two activities!
If you are a big fan of punk-rock music, then we are pretty sure that you know who Avril Lavigne is. Many of her songs har more than 400 million views on YouTube. However, just because she is a megastar, that doesn’t mean she spends millions of dollars every single day on expensive hotels, restaurants, and other clothes. Instead of that, she sometimes decides to go fishing.
Her passion for this activity started when she was still a child. Her brother was fishing, and she, like a younger sister, joined him many times. Even today, when she has millions of fans around the globe, she goes with her brother to have fun this way. Cool story, isn’t it?
We will give ourselves the right to say that Rihanna is the biggest music star on this list. We know it probably looks impossible to you to see her fishing. But, as you see, even if your songs have more than a billion views on the internet, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some simple activities. In one of her interviews, she said that fishing is a must-do thing when she organizes a trip to Hawaii. Isn’t that one of the goals that a bunch of people around the globe also have?
The first time Blake went fishing was with his stepdad. His stepdad was a huge fan of this activity, and Blake wanted to learn more about it. He started with some basics, and, over time, he learned on his own different tricks. Even today, when he is not working, he likes to spend more time in nature and catching fish. He does that regularly in the last couple of years. At least, that’s something he said in one of his interviews.
Luke Bryan certainly is one of the most popular American country music across the country. Believe it or not, he said in one of his interviews that he loves music, however, he also said that fishing is his only true love. When he is on tour, he likes to take breaks during his free time to catch fish in different locations across the United States of America. As we said, many musicians do this because they want to gain inspiration for singing and songwriting. It seems that Luke Bryan is one of them!
Jimmy is a multi-talented person without any doubt. Apart from his music career, he is also a successful entrepreneur. If you are following his life and work, then you know that he likes to say he is a true “island escapism” type of person. Believe it or not, he once even managed to catch tuna that was around 350 pounds heavy. Yet is this a big surprise? If you have been listening to his music for a long time, then you know he regularly writes about islands and relaxation.
The musicians from our list do not even publish songs from a different gender. Apart from that, their background is not the same at all. But, as you can see, they like the same thing – fishing! We support your desire to try out your fishing skills soon and grab all the health benefits that come with it!
Greetings, fellow musicians! Welcome to our educational blog where we are regularly supporting our readers and fans with some cool information from the music world. If you truly are a fan of singing, instruments, sounds, and tones, then you have come to the right place! […]
MusicGreetings, fellow musicians! Welcome to our educational blog where we are regularly supporting our readers and fans with some cool information from the music world. If you truly are a fan of singing, instruments, sounds, and tones, then you have come to the right place! In our articles, you will see a cocktail of posts made of different tips, tricks, and pieces of interesting information!
We invite you to check who we are! That way, you will understand why we are doing this. The owners of this website spent more time gaining information than practicing. When we started our journey, the internet was not as popular as today. We had to email one person to another, visit different classes, and do a bunch of other stuff to gain some good pieces of information.
Many years later, we are now the ones that are sharing information with people. Our tips are actually a reflection of our experience in the music world. It doesn’t matter if you want to become a professional or simply a person that plays guitar or any other instrument from time to time. We will publish posts for people of all ages, levels of knowledge, and experience.
Generally speaking, our tips will help you go through each stage of the learning process. We will tell you which methods you should use to reach the goal that you have. Of course, we are not the ones who determine your goals. Because of that, we invite you to determine them before entering our website!
It would be monotonous to just publish a “how-to” article. That is the reason why we plan to represent the music world from a different angle and make it even more interesting for everyone.
There you can find some evergreen content about famous musicians that made a certain impact on the entire industry. Of course, we won’t only talk about history – we will analyze the trends in the market, and, eventually, share our opinions on different topics. Of course, the comment section is always going to be open, so you can share your feedback as well. We like to discuss different subjects with our customers!
Our goal is not to make money from the classes that we provide. All the information that we share is for free. Apart from that, it is also worth mentioning that we will write posts regularly about the music events in different towns. Our goal is to promote small musicians that are at the beginning of their careers. We are not limited to only one gender, so you will get information about concerts of classic, country, pop, rock, hip hop, and punk music. Music is music, and there is no division!
When we talk about tips and how-to articles, we currently plan to share one post a week. It is not the point to bother you with millions of blog posts weekly where we share basic pieces of information all the time. We want to prepare each post properly and make it interesting, engaging, and useful at the same time.
On the other hand, when we talk about informational topics and the promotion of music, there is no fixed number of blog posts we will share. We will strive to be as active as possible.
You now know everything about us! But we do not know a lot about you! Because of that, let’s meet! Share your opinion on our posts, connect us via email, and let’s chat! We invite people to ask questions. Thanks to them, we will know which topics we should cover and answer all the questions and doubts that you have. Cheers!
