These are all the essential skills for a musician
I need to improve on three of these which are communication, collaboration and mixing
I need to improve on my communication as I first of all don’t know much music theory at all and find it hard to express my ideas to other musicians. If I study music theory it would not only help my understanding of music and the instruments I play but also help me work with others. Another thing I need to work on is my collaboration skills which is extremely important as a musician. I find it hard to collaborate with others unless I am the leader I want the work to be its best and most of the time others don’t like taking risks or trying something new because they are sacred of failing this makes it very difficult for me to collaborate with others as I want to push myself and do not care if I manage to succeed just by a bit. To improve this I need to understand that not everyone wants to takes risks or really have the confidence in themselves to try something new even though I know this my stubbornness takes over and I push boundaries.
Another skill I need to improve on is my mixing as I am absolutely horrible at it and if I want my songs to sound good I need to learn how to mix I can do this by watching youtube videos which there are thousands of for almost anything I want to learn about mixing. This can change my skills as a producer drastically.
One last skill I ned to improve on are my collaboration skills as I find it really difficult to collaborate with other unless I am the leader and I the one that is in control. I would say this is the skill I need to improve on the mot as I would say collaboration is the most important skill you need to create amazing music and my main goal is to do that so I need to learn how to sit down and collaborate with others.
If I reflect and put my head down and work on all of these skills I can be an amazing musician, performer and producer.
