PRACTICING!

12/7/2020

 
In continuation of thinking about good practice habits, I thought I'd re-post some thoughts from last month.....

​We are going to focus on good practice habits in November.  We will begin with some great motivational thoughts from pianist-teacher-composer Seymour Bernstein: 

*Look upon your talent as something uniquely yours and develop it.

​* Productive practicing is a process that promotes self-integration.  It is the kind of practice that puts you in touch with an all-pervasive 
order.

*One thing is certain:  your progress will be proportionate to the quality and quantity of the effort expended.

*Being at the piano allows an emotional response not just for music, but for life.


And from piano pedagogue extraordinaire Marvin Blickenstaff:

​*Music is EXPRESSION.  This is the most important concept for musicians to understand and practice.  

*We study the piano for the sake of expressing what it means to be a human being.



We will continue throughout November to think about good practice habits, and I will continue to share with you my insight on practicing developed over a lifetime of being at the piano.  Music study has given back to me more than I can say, and I will always encourage you to feel the same!
