    Practice but have fun and make sure you are enjoying playing. To me that is the most important thing for my playing.

      Sure, but fun has to be more than just mastering something and sticking with it. To progress you have to enjoy a challenge, engage with it, and embrace mistakes as a positive part of the learning process

    "You get used to that process" -- as more or less a beginner, I am not there yet, but makes sense.
    One thing for sure I have found is "repetition is magic".
    Over and over it is this:
    1) I can't do it,
    2) break it into chunks (1 bar chunks for example),
    3) repeat each chunk a LOT (more than seems necessary),
    4) put the chunks together, repeat some more.
    5) I can do it.
    Go very slow to start, speed up later.
    Repetition can be boring, or can be meditative, but it is not difficult. So in this way, difficult can be almost easy, but it takes time.

    Each time I listen to Jeff the more I admire him. His laidback attitude -- and sense of humility-- truly resonate with me. lol...BTW, I love that he made mention of the dreaded A-HOLE performer. They're the worst! I don't give a damned how talented he/she may be. Thanks for this, Jody Jazz.

    Thanks for posting this interview - making a sign for my studio right now: don’t confuse activity with progress.

    I passed ltcl performance n clarinet with top marks.
    Never push for top speed. Play longer, but at a speed, you can play Farley comfortable. When you are tired, keep practising, but slower. Always pay attention to rhythm. Rythm is very much linked to virtuosity

    • @mustafa1name

      Interesting and useful points. Rhythm is such a strange one, possibly not appreciated enough? You can play all wrong notes, yet still make some kind of musical sense if you got the rhythm right - kinda magical and unexplained? It's similar to language in a way - spel orl the werdz rong, u cn stll undrstnd.

    The great UK pianist, Jason Rebello, has a similar sentiment: if you sound good when practicing, you're doing it wrong. As I understand it, what he means is that in practice you should be stripping everything down to the fundamentals, focusing on the core qualities of the notes, rather than thinking about an audience or anything else. Bach is supposed to be a good source material for this kind of practice. I guess it's the same principle as playing slowly - build a solid foundation, and the rest will kinda look after itself.

    Hmm, teaching at Vanderbilt in Nashville? Seems to me their music school won't be that bad, n'est-ce pas?

    Just practice everything you can't play, eventually you'll be able to play everything. Practice has to be fun and it will become a chore if you start writing down stuff, Coffin makes it science 👎
