The Music Timetable

I realize that you probably think this goes against everything I stand for; limiting the amount you jam.  But it is very important if you hope maintain any kind of a career in music.  Because of this I recommend creating a music timetable.

It is very important to have a concise music timetable and to always follow it.  You should never focus too much on one thing so you can become a better, more well rounded musician.  Like many things in life, a successful music career requires good time management.  Make a list of important things that need to be accomplished or practiced and make sure they are included somewhere in the music timetable.  For example, you might want to practice vocals on Mondays, do song writing on Wednesdays and rehearse on Saturdays.

To better illustrate, here is the ArmsUp music timetable:

As you can see, we do a quick vocal practice before the start of each day’s undertaking.  On Mondays we record a jam with electric instruments.  Tuesdays are a full vocal rehearsal of all our songs as well as any covers or vocal exercises we want to practice.  On Wednesdays we practice all of our songs acoustically.  Thursdays are a day for listening to previously recoded jams and to use this raw creative material to write new songs.  Fridays are a day of rest (that usually includes more jamming).  On Saturday we rehearse our songs with electric instruments.  And finally on Sunday we record an acoustic jam. 

The music timetable allows for focus and direction on your path to music success.  Check out this video of pink floyd when Syd was still in the band.  Very jammish:
