Practice Makes Proficient It is so unimportant how perfect you play something that you are learning but what is of the utmost importance is honing your approach to practicing. It's not enough to be told to practice but perhaps more importanly how. You employ practice methods to break down any material you are learning. It's more than just slowing down or heavy repetition, although those are important, but for example, how to keep playing even while making mistakes by applied patience, compsure and day-to-day consistency. In this way "perfection" is merely a natural result of consistent practice. Yep. If you must be perfect please become a surgeon, a chef or even a mechanic - but egads...not a musician! Thoughts? Comments? Criticisms? I'm open to read your thoughts! |
