How to create a musical routine from home
One of the keys to success in online music learning is to establish a clear and realistic routineYou don't need to practice for hours a day, but you do need to set aside specific times to dedicate a few minutes to your instrument or app.
Start by choosing a time slot when you have energy and peace of mind. It could be right after waking up, after work, or before bed. The ideal is to maintain consistency rather than duration. Even 15 minutes a day makes a big difference.
Prepare your space. You don't need a soundproof room: just a tidy corner, good lighting, and your instrument at hand. Having it visible helps remind you that it's there, waiting for you.

Plus, take advantage of your app's features: progress calendars, reminders, unlockable levels. This turns your practice into a motivating and measurable experience.
What holds many back (and how to avoid it)
Many people start out enthusiastically, but give up due to a lack of organization or unrealistic expectations. One of the most common mistakes is trying to move too quickly, skipping steps. This only leads to frustration.
Another obstacle is comparing yourself to others. On social media, it seems like everyone plays perfectly… but you don't see the hours of rehearsal behind it. The only valid comparison is with yourself: are you playing better than you did a week ago? Then you're doing well.
There are also those who think that if one day they fail, everything is ruined. But musical practice isn't linear. There will be days of progress and days of blockage. The important thing is to come back. Restart. Keep going.
And don't forget to take care of your motivation. Choose songs you like, record yourself to see your progress, and celebrate each achievement. Learning music isn't an obligation: it's a privilege. Enjoy it.
Keys to keeping your musical passion burning
A passion for music is fueled by small rituals. Here are some ideas:
- Choose a repertoire that excites you. Playing songs you know and love keeps you going.
- Combines theory with practice. The apps offer technical exercises, but also real songs. Alternate between the two to avoid boredom.
- Listen to music carefully. Understanding what others are doing sharpens your ear and expands your creativity.
- Invite someone. Sharing a song with a friend, showing your progress, or playing together (even via video) increases the motivation.
- Be patient. Every finger that moves better, every chord that sounds cleaner, is a victory. And those small victories are what keep you going.
The most important thing: remember why you started. Every time you play, you get closer to that dream.
Online music also changes real lives
You may have started learning from an app, but what you're building goes far beyond a screen. You're developing a skill that will stay with you forever. A form of expression that doesn't need words. A tool to connect with yourself and others.
Online music has democratized access to art. Today, it doesn't matter where you live or how much you can afford: if you have a phone and money, you can learn. You can play. You can create.
And that has immense power. Because playing an instrument not only strengthens your ear and fingers, but also your mind, your memory, and your confidence. It forces you to be present. To listen attentively. To enjoy the process.
So don't underestimate a 10-minute class. Or a simple song. Every note you play is an affirmation that you can, that you're moving forward, that you're creating something uniquely yours.
Online music is just the beginning. What comes next is up to you.
