“We can be truly successful only at things we are willing to fail at.” -Mark Manson
Perfection isn't possible.
Blindly pursuing perfection often leads to complete failure.
Trying to be perfect is okay, but accepting anything but perfection is crippling.
Perfection in music is especially dangerous.
From the first day of our first music class, we want to play each note perfectly.
This is entirely understandable, because who wouldn't want to be perfect?
However, is perfection in music possible?
Isn't music just an outlet for artistic creativity?
Isn't art subjective? So how can it ever be perfect?
Music does have mathematical elements, and there is a way to play every note perfect.
Playing every note perfect doesn't always lead to a better performance or a better song.
The best way to ensure you put forth your best effort is to drop your perfectionist tendencies.
Stop over thinking and over analyzing, and just play.
Embracing your perfection will allow you to create more music, grow as an artist, and stay inspired.
Maybe you're trying to stop being a perfectionist, or maybe you're not aware you are a perfectionist.
Here are five signs to look out for to be sure you aren't striving for perfection.
