Managing Dishes
The magic of Thanksgiving has a lot to do with managing dishes. So does effective practice.
Practice
Fluency
Fluency only comes with time.
Getting Good Takes Time
Maybe you just haven’t spent enough time on it.
100 Hour Skill
Can you estimate the real time that developing a new skill will require?
Slow Down To Go Faster
The fastest way isn’t necessarily full speed.
Seeing Habits
You can’t work on what you can’t see.
Bias Towards Memorization
With ensembles that don’t have enough rehearsal time, they should always practice with a bias towards memorization.
Less-Than-Great
You can’t become great without first being less-than-great.
Part Recording Pitfalls
Part recordings are a great tool – but not without their drawbacks.
Transcription is Logic
I love transcribing music. It’s not a strictly musical skill.
