When to do music practice

When you are having a bad day and nothing is going right . . .When the pressures of life are crowding in on you and you need some time by yourself . . When someone, or something has made you angry . . When you are bored, or when you are feeling flat or unhappy, don't complain, just go and do some music practice. That will lift your spirits and energise you.
