I want to learn the Oud but I don’t have time to practice

Everyone can find time for practice, no matter how busy they can be in life.  If you have time to drink your coffee, watch tv, or go on social media, then yes you do have time to practice your instrument.

Practicing is a fundamental story and it’s also about the journey. Find pleasure in practicing. Develop a passion for it. Think of it when you wake up in the morning and when you come back from work or before you go to bed at night. Keep track of your progress and make sure your practice sessions are structured and not random. Break down your exercises and work on the small parts where you have difficulties.

Think of your instrument as an extension of yourself. Treat it well and take care of it but also make sure it’s always accessible to you.
