Practice & Motivation
Q: How much time will I need to set aside to practice?
A: This is a difficult question to answer. Everyone is familiar
with the phrase 'practice makes perfect' but just how much practice
does it take to come anywhere close to 'perfect'? The answer
is 'A LOT'!! Let's forget about being 'perfect'. What are your
personal goals? Discuss them with your prosepective teachers
and ask them what they think. For a beginner to make progress
it is important to be able to set aside, at the very least,
20-30 minutes of practice five days a week. The more time you
are able to set aside each day on a regular basis, the more
progress you are likely to make. However, the quality of each
practice session is just as important, if not more important,
than the quantity of time. Having specific goals to work towards
as well as applying a healthy 'problem-solving' approach to
your practice sessions will help you accomplish more in less
time. There is no miracle approach though - you will need to
practice if you want to progress.
