The Practice of Practice

by Jonathan Harnum

Michelangelo said, “If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.”

“There is nothing more serious than having fun.”

Success is moving from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. Winston Churchill, statesman (1874-1965)

breaking up your practice into two or more sessions per day is also better than one long chunk of time just once a day.

To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.

“The first time I played a bass, I was successful. Success is not a goal. Success is in the doing. Always.”
