 Re: What do you do when you are in a rut/plateau and can’t seem to progress?

I'm sure you are at least 100% better than three years ago.

You sound burnt out. It's no wonder with everything going on. While you are feeling that way you probably won't make a lot of progress. Try to make some changes in your routine.

Also, plan fun and relaxing things to do. You really need to prioritize this because you are frustrated and overwhelmed. It's super important. Your frustration and other negative thoughts and feelings overwhelm the rest of your nervous system and mind. When that happens things don't work very well. So, make it a very high priority to give yourself some breathing room. You may have a variety of activities available through school. Ex. I find swimming relaxing. Get away from screens. Go for coffee. See "Top Gun" (highly recommended).

Don't worry too much about your career right now. No matter what happens, if you graduate from a good school you can find a job in music. I know teaching locally or in school may not sound super awesome to you right now, but trust me - you will not regret having the option. You may have lots of other options. Things may change. Use the summer to regroup and then figure things out next year.

Best wishes!
