Explore!
Tuesday, March 3, 2020 by Gary Johnston | 21-Day Challenge
Welcome to Day 17 of the 21-Day Challenge!
Today I want you to put away your books and just pick up an instrument or sit at a keyboard or a drum kit, even an instrument you've never played before, and EXPLORE.
Blow into a recorder, a trombone, a sax or trumpet. Play a hand drum, shakers, a tambourine. Blow a kazoo. Pluck a banjo. Find a drum or keyboard app on your phone and play at work or on the bus.
Explore the ranges of the instrument. Tinkle the high keys, pound on the low ones. Bend a string. Rap on the sides of a drum or ukulele. Stop and listen to extraneous street noise and play along with passing traffic. Whistle back to the birds, scream back at the crows. Wear a different shoe on each foot and clump around the house.
Above all else, LISTEN. ENGAGE.
