Hey there Reader,

No matter who we are, we all need that motivational push for practicing. Here are 4 things that I think will help you find more motivation:

---

1. The Standing Ovation Series

I started doing this series about a year ago to help you feel more excited to practice through encouragement.

Every day for 3 days, you get an email from me celebrating your practice for the day and encouraging you for the next day’s sessions.

Here’s what musicians have to say about it:

2. Practice With Me in Real Time

When it comes to accountability and focus, knowing someone else is there practicing as well can be so helpful. I want this focus for you. You can practice with me in real time as I work on music for music conservatoire, and we can keep each other accountable!

You get access to this as a member of The Confident Musicianing Membership Community.

3. My Conversation with Maestro Jacob Joyce

This conversation was the first interview I ever did on the Confident Musicianing Podcast. Maestro Jacob Joyce is the Associate Conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony, and he brought so much knowledge and wisdom to this episode. (Seriously, I listen to it often for motivation because he is so inspiring.)

In the episode, we dive into:

• The power of networking 💪
• Making a change in your music career (Maestro went from violin to conducting!) 🎻
• Managing studying both music and another degree at the same time (economics and music at Yale!) 📚
• The top things that young musicians can focus on in their career. 🎶
• How Maestro Joyce prepares for important auditions. 🏆
• And much more!

4. A Practice Journal for Organisation

I used to plan my practice when I was auditioning for music school… and then I stopped after. I recently started planning my practice again with Notabl_’s practice journals, and it has transformed my practice.

Not only do I know exactly what I am going to work on, I also know when it is time to stop practicing for the day. And at the end of my practice there is a reflection section so that everyday can be an improvement.

As soon as I knew this is working, I had to let you know and get you a code. Use code ELEANOR15 for 15% off your order!*​

All my best,

Eleanor
