To achieve greatness, you need three things:

A good Coach/Teacher.

Intelligent Practice.

Time.

Intelligent practice requires:

Focus:

Setting realistic goals: - for the busy person, this could

mean 10 minutes per day, for those with more time it

would mean one hour per day (or more) in 20-minute

chunks. The goal must be achievable, and practice must

be consistent.

Good use of time: Remember: Practice Makes Perma-

nent, so do it correctly. A little done well is worth hours

of mindless timewasting.

Producing quality sound: Always ask yourself; “Is this a

quality note. Could I make it sound better”?

(Occasionally record yourself and observe the quality).

If you would “like” to play an in-

strument, ask yourself if you have

the commitment it will take and

maybe think again? But, if you

“really want” to play an instru-

ment, you will succeed, so go for

it and amaze yourself.

For the good are always the merry,

Save by an evil chance,

And the merry love the fiddle

And the merry love to dance W. B. Yeats
