Think positive! Aim to improve your own skills. Don't worry if other students are more experienced than you – we want you to be the best you can be.
Practise. You will get better if you give it some time. Music isn't always easy, but that's true of many things which are worth doing.
Practise slowly. Get it right slowly and gradually increase the pace.
Listen. Listen to music you love, listen to music you know nothing about, listen to music you think you might not like. Whatever you do, keep listening!
