The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**

Adult Music Lessons available at Parramatta, Chatswood, Burwood and George St Sydney

Beverley, mature aged, but young at heart violin student
performing at our Shine Music School Concert

The top 5 most important things about adult music lessons:

Have the correct attitude to learning an instrument

Be absolutely ready to practice everyday for the next few years

Invest in a nice instrument

Clear away all distractions

Never ever give up!

Don't call us if you do not have all five of those important things if you are an
adult keen on learning an instrument! If you have all five points in the above,
we would love to meet you!

For all those who don't have all of the above five points, then if you really love
music, just keep listening or watching somebody else play it until you are able
to satisfy the above five points that will make a successful adult music student
attending music lessons.

Have the correct attitude to learning an instrument

The correct attitude any adult who wants to take on a musical instrument is that
they will commit themselves to practicing everyday for at least 20 minutes for the
next 3 years. This is what it takes to be successful at any instrument and it definitely
does not happen over night.

It will take at least a year of learning before you can show off to your friends,
and a lot of pain and over coming resistance in the first few weeks since as an
adult, why would anybody want to sound horrible at anything! The truth is that every
beginner piano student, or violin student, saxophone student, etc sounded very basic
the first time they learnt.

The only difference is that a child learning the instrument for the first time won't
feel embarrassed that they are only playing 'Twinkle Twinkle' where as an adult
student attending music lessons might get the urge to go do something else to relieve
their discomfort, maybe surf the internet for a while, watch some TV or get a drink
of water.

Well for the child they are still in learning mode, where as an adult who is no
longer in learning mode and in more self-management mode would prefer to sound fantastic
or do things that make them feel absolutely fantastic rather than progressive.

Be absolutely ready to practice everyday

This is not exactly any magic formula, everybody knows it, to be good at an instrument
you have to practice everyday. Think of all your favourite musicians or even athletes,
they have all trained very hard, everyday, to get where they are. The rest of the
people are the ones who gave up, didn't have time, couldn't be bothered, so to be
successful you have to practice everyday.

Here is a list of things that most adults do everyday:

Brush their teeth

Eat

Drink

Go to the toilet

Sleep

Shower

Fit in practicing music!

And you will be absolutely fine. If you can't then there will be problems.

Invest in a nice instrument

So apart from singing, for all the other instruments invest in something nice. Don't
go out buying the cheapest one to 'see if you are going to practice' Buy a medium
range one so that first of it all it sounds and looks beautiful and also that the
financial outlay will make you actually practice hard!

Buying something cheap and nasty, will mean that looking at it won't feel so bad.
But then buying something shiny will motivate you to practice more! You don't go
buying car and thinking that you 'just might drive it'. So the same with instruments,
go buy a nice one and think ' I am definitely going to play this at least 7 days
a week'.

Clear away all distractions

Make sure you free up the time and space around you to properly practice an instrument.
If you are working full time, and also studying a course part time, then chances
are you won't have time to practice. If you are in between moving houses or am getting
use to a new job, then please make sure you clear away any unnecessary obstacles
before you start learning an instrument!

If you finish work at 5pm everyday, have absolutely nothing to do when you go home
and don't feel that the TV is attractive to watch after dinner, then learning an
instrument is going to be perfect for you! If you have 100 other responsibilities
after you finish work, then best to wait for all the responsibilities to clear up
so that way you have no distractions to practicing! You need a comfortable 20 minutes,
obligation free and guilt free so that you can practice everyday!

Never ever give up!

It is not ok to 'just give it a try for a few lessons'. It is 'I am going to sit
down and do my best to be absolutely awesome at this instrument' So you can't give
up! Like point number three, invest in a nice instrument so that way you will never
ever give up playing, since it is too expensive to do so!

It is not ok to 'I think I'll take a break', it is 'No advanced piano player ever
gave up so I'm not going to give up!' Have the right attitude about this, it is
definitely one of the most important points to learning an instrument.
