Hopefully, we don't have to explain this too much. We doubt there is anyone that has enjoyed themselves too much.

There certainly have been people who found enjoyment in destructive ways, but that's not a worry in music. Music is an enjoyment so pure, you can give yourself to it and it won't bite you back. People, circumstances, overdone recreation maybe, but not the music itself.

If you're not enjoying what you are doing, we suggest trying it a different way. Then, if you can't see it leading to enjoyment, we suggest you stop and see if you can find something better to do.

Music is one of the greatest sources of pure joy known to man. If you're not having fun, its you, not it, that needs to change.

Even if you manage to do the rest of the things on this Top Ten Fundamentals List, if you're not enjoying it, you haven't gotten out of it what there is to be had. And its not just you that needs to be having fun, at least if you're playing with and to others. Without them having fun, it won't work either.

Make sure that you remember to enjoy the music and the process of learning how to get better. That easy effort alone can make the biggest difference of all in how your music grows and in how your music comes across to everyone else.
