Regular Schedule f
Musical ability is as much habit formation as it is
technically learning note names and positions on the staff.
We attempt to form perfect habits in the early stages to
help with later development. That is one
of the reasons we encourage a student to sometimes play a particularly
difficult passage at a ridiculously slow speed.
We must first get the notes and fingering right, and then build skill
and fingering memory.
The wonderful thing about this skill is that is translates
well into other activities – sports for sure, even study habits.
We don’t just want to form habits.
We want to form good habits.
