Thoughts on music practice, adapted to other practices, which made me think about my music practice.
What Does Practice Look Like for You? – ProfHacker – The Chronicle of Higher Education:
“At the heart of Newport’s writing is the simple idea that success doesn’t require courage, it requires working hard in the right way. There are a number of ideas that follow from that: for example, you have to “become so good that they can’t ignore you” and becoming that good requires “hard focus.” The idea I’ve found most helpful is that to become good you have to practice deliberately.”
And practicing deliberately, of course, requires a lot of courage!
I see you have already taken your “Graduate Studies in Circuitous Logic” course. You are going to make a great academic.
BTW, did I see you on the ISIM schedule? I’ll be there as well. We should make a beverage hang.
