At first I thought, Oh NO. Another teacher! But reading this "dissertation" on practice...I find you really DO know whereof you speak, and you do it Oh! so well.<br /><br />I play a violin for 70 years (started when I was age 6). Aside from the "practice" jokes, e.g., Man on street corner in NY: "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" "Practice, practice, practice!"...when someone asks me "How do you play that 'thing' so well?" I answer sometimes, "How does a bird fly. First she practiced, now because she is a bird, she FLYS! So with me, I am a violin player, so it's what I am, what I DO, not what I think about.<br /><br />Thank you for allowing me to read and comment.

I am a pianist myself, and it always amuses me that when I play a musical piece that I have practiced many times, my fingers can play the piece with virtually no 'conscious' thought of my own. <br />I agree also about our mental habits, many problems in our lives are due to faulty thought processes, especially ones learned while we were young. Retraining our mind is crucial in order to unlearn those processes, and replace them with healthier ones.Peter Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896115247438514660noreply@blogger.com
