Losing Your Passion As A Musician

 By Kevin Coco

As a musician at times you can lack passion.

Lose interest in performing.

You once had determination, then all of a sudden it’s gone.

All that effort and time you dedicated doesn’t seem to matter.

So then what happens

You Give UP

It’s not that you don’t want to stop playing it’s just you might not have the motivation you once had.

If you played music as a profession and find the venues aren’t paying like they use to, this can effect your passion to want to keep performing.

If you’re expectations are too high, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment.

How do you get the passion back.

You have to love what you do no matter how you are feeling. The real secret is having determination, putting the effort and time back into what you enjoy doing, music.

Then

• Stick with what you love
• Don’t give up on what you believe in
• When times are tough you still keep going

When you are playing in a venue. It’s times when someone comes up, compliments you on a song, you have played that touched them, they feel the passion in your playing.

PS: Hey you know what at times, my passion gets pretty low.
