Before you take that break, make a list of all those things on the backburner which could be damaging your enjojment of your music - then go and do them!

This should work far better than taking a break for the sake of it and drifting around aimlessly.

I took a three month break from our singarounds about ten years ago to produce a song book.

Unfortunately all those back burner things replaced my intentions and I ended up with no songbook. If I had identified the non music issues and set about sorting them in my break, I could probably have produced the song book whilst still enjoying two singarounds a week.
