Music Traces still to hold Every Tuesday in the Month Of February!

The month is half-gone already!

Ensure you always connect and get career transforming insights.

We’ll be talking about “Excellence Is A Chance”

The truth is every artist craves for a platform. But because we all don’t want to cheapen our crafts, by asking for those platforms, we pray and practice silently for the opportunities to come which is ideal to do.

The essence of rehearsals and practicing is to accumulate skill and flexibility, making your craft ready for a “showcase” of what have been secretly rehearsed and practiced.

The real essence of rehearsals is to display excellence. When you rehearse you want to increase you skill and make yourself ready for a future performance.

On last weeks edition, I said Excellence is not enjoyed or perceived by the artist, rather it is made for the audience. You don’t eat your cake and have it Literally.

Excellence is an accumulation of constant growth. To display Excellence, you need platforms, when you get these platforms, that is when you dish out what you have been practicing behind the scenes.

To Earn the tag “Excellent Performer” is one of the cravings of an artist. But this cannot be earned without investing time to navigate your performance needs.

Sometimes A single performance can earn you the excellent tag, but on the long run you’ll need a couple of excellent performances to grow and stay relevant in the industry, Both Locally and in diaspora.

In this month of February, All the discussions if you have following have been evolving around Constant Rehearsals, Excellence and Lasting Growth. This is because there’s a mindset every artist should have, either a start up or a veteran

On each performance, you don’t know who’s sitted in the crowd listening/Watching your performance.

It could just be someone who believes in your dream, ready to invest in your craft. That’s how often you should be ready to display Excellence when you perform.

Conclusively, It’s true Opportunities comes once in a long time, but think about the fact that you can create an opportunity for yourself by making yourself ready at any time you’re been called upon. On a Final Note, Rehearse to be Excellent!

RECAP OF HEIGHTS NOT FEETS

We’ll be talking about “Platform Begets Growth”

The journey to the top requires a lot of actions.

Growth is accumulative and for anyone whose work you admire today on any platform, have definitely been putting in a lot of work.

In our present day society, everyone thinks that you first of all get platforms to become great.

That’s why a couple of times people struggle on their way to the top.

You can’t plant a seed before you dig a hole.

Performing on platforms requires a lot of preparations and that is what leads to greatness.

Anyone who intends to be featured must first and foremost have a prepared mindset because rehearsing involves preparing your mind to Bless or Entertain People.

Today, We’ll be weighing up two key important Elements responsible for your growth:

• Constant Rehearsals
• Constant Exhibition

Do you get better by Constantly Rehearsing?

Or Do you get better by Constant Exhibition?

The effect of a rehearsal session goes beyond the performance on stage, but the accolades you get from the crowd is very temporal.

In preparation for an event, rehearsals helps you raise an edifice Of ideas especially if you’re to perform in an unusual event.

The importance of rehearsing constantly can not just be over emphasized.

Looking out for platforms is ok, but you’ve got to be ready! But have you thought of being ready without having anyone to perform in front of? That’s where #ConstantExhibition comes in.

Because all platforms requires being good at a level, You can’t get to these platforms without being good at a level.

You get platforms because of the skills you possess which is as a result of Constant Rehearsals – Practicing.

How often are you featured on events?

How often do you get invitations to perform?

Are you making the most of it?

Have you compared your performances?

All these and more paints a picture of how well your Rehearsals is paying off.

This is how you measure your growth.

Because you need platforms to grow doesn’t mean you should go about looking for platforms to perform. If you’re skillful, opportunities to perform on big platforms will definitely come knocking at different levels.

Nobody wants to see a flop on Stage!

Conclusively, One important thing to learn from today’s discussion is Rehearsals is a pathway to the top. But rehearsing without opportunities to perform is not greatness. It simply shows that your rehearsal sessions are still yet to pay off.

It was a great session today, thank you for being part of the maiden session of February Edition. It’s always a privilege for me to share great insights with you all.

Same time Next week we’ll talk about “Growth Begets Excellence”

Have An Excellent Week!
