Staying tapped into creativity.
I give guitar lessons in Cary, NC and one of my greatest goals is to help students discover their creativity. Lets talk about staying tapped into creativity and where it can take us!
Not every one of my students may want to become a full time, or professional musician, but the following is true: Once someone discovers their creativity, and learns how to utilize it, creativity will follow them throughout life!
Creativity pared with imagination and boldness can unlock great opportunities. These opportunities can lead to greatness!
I believe creativity is a gift every person was born with. Although this may be try, sadly only a small number ever truly discovers this hidden treasure. And, even a smaller number learns how to use this gift to its full extent.
So, how do we do it?
- Pursuing new worlds and new frontiers.
- Pushing the limits.
- Being willing to go where we think we can’t go.
For example, when the realization that creativity hit me, it changed how I wrote songs. I use to have writers block seasonally, but NO MORE!
Now when I teach songwriting, I teach my students the secrets I learnt. Look at it from multiple angles. Rhythmically, melodically, and lyrically. I teach them to use their five senses when exploring creativity. I teach them to wrestle till the magic happens. Contend for greatness not mediocrity!
The modern definitions of insanity is doing the same thing day to day but expecting different results. Unless we try new things we will never move forward, never take new ground, and never discover new places of blessing.
I have learnt so much about creativity from my wife! She’s an incredible photography and I daily see her take another step into creativity. Visit her site at Tonya Hurter Photography and see for yourself.
I tell my students that the greatest goal in music is to learn to play the song that is residing inwardly.
Come join me for guitar lessons and see what new things you may discover about yourself and your abilities! Remember, at all cost, stay tapped into creativity.
I give guitar lessons in Morrisville, NC and Cary, NC.
