Argh!  Another message about practice. . .I get it---we all wish we could just skip to the part where we can play it perfectly.  Alas!  That will never happen without countless mindless repetitions of the same passage. . .over and over and over. . . .and . . .over. . .

But wait!  What if it didn't have to be played a million times?  I'll let you in on a secret:  IT DOESN'T!!!!  Not if you are super careful to always play it correctly when you do play it. Science is on our side and there are studies that state that it takes 7 repetitions to remember something.  Of course, that is true if you play it right OR if you play it wrong----and if you practice it wrong, you are bound to remember it wrong.  

I really wish I knew that long ago, but luckily I know it now and I'm sharing this super secret knowledge with you so you don't have to go through the torment that I went through.

Happy Practicing!!
