Find me for the #100daysofpractice challenge on Instagram.

I’m currently doing the #100daysofpractice challenge on Instagram. I’m sharing a snippet of what I’m working on, some jazz transcriptions, etc along with my personal journal.

I became a mother in this February and it has been a big learning curve for me on top of the COVID-19 situation. My son became 5 months-old recently and I decided to start this challenge to get back to working on music.

My everyday is now pretty challenging - not sleeping, learning to breastfeed, trying to calm a crying baby all day. I sometimes have hard time to go to bathroom or fill a glass of water for myself. My time is very limited now.

I didn’t know how hard work really is to be a mother. Now, I have a huge respect to all the mothers on the earth. And that respect especially goes to my mother. (Thank you, Mom!)

Even with this fact, I still decided that I want to do this challenge to make a promise to myself to become a better musician.

It’s been 3 weeks now.

Wish me luck and join me for the journey!
