1.  K.I.S.S. 

"Keep It easy, Stupid." In this context, "keeping it simple" means keeping your goals and expectancies pragmatic.  Don't expect to be an expert by the end of the first week.  Instead, aim at something more achievable, like being able to play a scale at a certain tempo.  If that sounds a bit like a cop-out to you, then what is the harm in trying to achieve it?  If the goal you set one day or one week is too easy, you can always make the subsequent one harder.

Somehow, the hip-hop creed of personal strength, self-respect, and opposing the whole world regardless of how outnumbered of you are, finds   great strength in the established principles of Islam that he stand for the same kind of personal strength.
