Power of Music 

Practice makes progress

“It's not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practice that counts; it's what you put into the practice”

To improve at something you have to practice. And practicing piano is nothing different. Choosing to practice or not determines your skill and your motivation. If you don’t practice you will lose interest and never get better.

I’ve had a bumpy trip playing piano. I only play when i want to play, and because of that I didn’t get better. I didn’t like the pieces my teacher was giving me which wasn’t very motivating.  I was so annoyed practicing I wanted to quit. That was until I realized that i could learn pieces online. My strategy was to learn pieces that interested me and songs i actually listened to. I would also play the classical pieces my teacher gave me, but  my practicing would now be twice as long playing both the teacher’s pieces and the ones online. This solution got me back into the rhythm of piano and made me enjoy it much more. I no longer dreaded practicing i was instead excited, and eager to play and learn. 

To be able to enjoy something and get good at it, you have to like doing it. This is the same thing with nearly everything, for instance jobs. If you hate your job, and you don’t want to do it, it will all fall down. I found out how to enjoy piano and became motivated to do something i love. Now I’m able to enjoy myself, I’m able to pursue something i love, and I’m able to find the importance of music.

The importance of music is incredible and to get better you have to be motivated and committed to learning.
