===Ideas===
 
...This page is for sharing ideas about playing / practicing, particularly for making practicing fun.
 
Try to play / practice at least 20 minutes a day, per instrument, or sing, with enjoyment, and socially some of the time.
Use the word playing, vis-a-vis playfulness, to transform the negative connotations of the word practicing, linguistically?
 
Make practicing social ...
 
*
sociocultural context ... if music is all around, with a lot of good models, and people to play with, the learning of technique, which can take hours, can be part of a conversation. Create an immersive milieu, by playing yourselves, where there's so much music around to 'converse' with, your children pick up music freely, and learn by playing with.

(bagpipe, voice, guitar ... the instrument you want to develop 'flow' experiences with :) Let me know if you're interested ... this will help further the World University Music School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School.

How to make regular playing / practices, in a rock band, pipe band or chamber music group, really fun, getting to 'space,' for example, like the Grateful Dead did?
 
ideas: ... listen, relax, let musicians choose their own music, keep the group small, regularly make time to explore improvisation, with a musician facilitating this with the other musicians, begin with the blues or similarly moving, and accessible, music, listen to good, related CDs ...
