Hey music lovers and makers, welcome to my blog. I'm glad that it's time to uprightly stand and gain some dignitaries in our passions and skills. It's high time we develop and bread life to our skills and work harder to making our dream and priority magnificence.

African music has in the years pass received a fresh innovation and many talented musician has made it surface around the globe making African music ranging from different genres from makossa, sokkoss, highlife, traditional, gospel, circular and many more. One of the trending and sought after music around the world. So therefore setting a day to celebrate African music is a welcomed development.

I'm a lover of music and good sounds, I developed interest in this since childhood days and I believe it can only get better when I don't stop.

Today being the world music day which the whole world celebrate I celebrate all the musiciana all around the world. My prayers is that we make the world a place of love and peace through music
As an instrumentalist there are open opportunities for the world to hear us but this will be a good fictional story if we don't do the needful to make it a reality.

Music has a deeper sense of relief when we listen to a piece it sends massages to our souls and has the ability stir up spirits.
I'm writing this to all the instrumentalist and producers out there including my very self especially the beginners and amateur players around the world, that we can attain that hight of perfection we have all been striving to be.

Music is a very broad filed and needs deligence to at least be specialize in a particular type of music.
CONSIDER WITH ME THESE FEW STEPS
TO GREATER HEIGHTS IN MUSIC

All the best musicians we have seen around didn't just sit down to be successful in music either as a singer,instrumentalist or producer. They went for what the wanted so we have to get up and chase that goal.
-seting goals; the aim of setting up goals as an instrumentalist and musician defines your personal interest and purposes about what you intent to archive in this field, this is what I call “what fuels our passion” without goals I think the is nothing positive and serious about our dream.


Practical consistency; the saying that practice makes perfect is the head word in this case, infact as an instrumentalist I'm an unfortunate victim of this. In as much as practice is not in your agenda forget about being a musician, let's reflect back to how music started and where it is now, in a world that is moving fast and forward without practice you will be outdated and loose your audience so keeping up with the groves doesn't only help you but makes you up to date and better opportunities.


Have a role model; it is difficult to truly grow without having a role model and studying them. It is important to learn and impliment their techniques during practicals to have a shaped road to attaining professionalism.


Involve in contest; this doesn't have be bigger contest on stages for the start, but some local and street competition is a sure plug to bringing out best in you and it serve as a perfect way of creating awareness to the people that you are u to something. Even though I am not perfect but I never knew I could perform above average, just because I started going out for concerts and competitive event in my neighborhood.

Music is life, music is love, music is affection. While it may seem normal to the music producers, vocalist, and instrumentalist it means the world to the listeners. One of the ways to a man's heart is through words the hear and music is never left behind. good music can heal a broken soul gives joy to the depressed.
