Okay, so you’re going to build a tall pile of snow. Where do you want to build it?
Giant Steps? Conducting Gesture? Sprechstimme?
I want to argue in favor of building meta-skills.
Learn how to learn. Practice effective practice. Get better at getting better.
If you can build a massive skill set in the area of self-improvement, no other skill will ever be out of reach.
So when you set out to play double time licks on Giant Steps, determine the most effective practice approach and follow it. Force yourself to watch videos of yourself conducting to accelerate your improvement.
Master the art of becoming a master. That’s where you build your snow pile.
