The Bevan James Eyles Show, Episode 273 - Dealing With My Insecurity

I have an insecurity around my piano playing…

It’s that I don’t think I will ever be good at playing by ear.

This holds me back from practicing because when I do spend time trying to play by ear my inner voice says…

‘You are not good at this so why even try’. This leads to me…

• Struggling to stay focused on what I’m trying to practice
• Telling myself that I can’t do it
• Moving towards quitting

This creates an experience where I don’t get better, which reinforces my insecurity.

Lately, I’ve developed a plan that helps me overcome this, and it’s working. I’m moving away from this insecurity and am actually getting better at playing by ear.

In this week’s video, I share a deeper level of my experience and teach you the technique I’m using which is helping.
