Hi Twist - do you have any specific goals for you playing/musicianship?
This can really help define your direction and working path. |

You sound just like me Twist, you need direction and guidance, you need to let your mentor know what you want, if they give you a lesson to learn for REC and you don't gel with it just let them know, you won't offend them, they want you to progress and you won't do that if you're trying to learn something you're not enjoying.
Try to put some time each day into improvising. Your ear will improve. Join in with the collabs even if you're not into the style/genre, it will help develop the thinking part of your brain by coming up with something suitable and develop your improvisational and compositional skills and give you a break from routine. When /if the creativity workshops come back, have a go, even if you don't get anything down, just trying to come up with something develops the creativity area of your brain. Learn theory bit by bit, you'll get swamped if you try too much, ask your mentor to explain a little bit of theory related to what you're learning so you can use the example in a practical way to help the brain absorb the theory. Main thing is trying to enjoy your practise, not always easy, trust me, I know, but having fun is the prerequisite for improving. Hope this helps buddy.
