My most favourite quote on the practice of practice is not actually in this book, it's from the movie Godzilla: Final Wars: two brothers have a falling out and go into the battle practice room, one earnestly tries to do in our hero who, when he gains the upper hand, refuses to deliver a final blow. The teacher interrupts their quarrelling and tells them:
"The purpose of practice is not to better your opponent. The purpose of practice is to be better than you were yesterday."

ReplyDeleteyes, well we don't want to forget those generations upon generations of #music teachers upon whose shoulders this guide can stand! 200,000 is probably a conservative estimate! Thank you so much for posting this, and posting it under a creativecommons.cc too! Brilliant :)
