Practicing makes you better.
I have (and have had for decades) the honor and privilege of working with people of all ages studying music.
*
School ages to adults. Amateur players to fellow professionals. We’re all perpetual students of music regardless how long we have been practicing it.
*
Note how I refer to doing music as a “practice?”
*
That’s because it is. Just like a doctor practices medicine and a lawyer practices law. A musician practices music. Music is both art and science.
*
Practice is applied research. Practice builds individual competencies and technical skills.
*
Practice allows individuals to create and work in harmony with other musicians who also practice.
*
Rehearsals are actually not a place for individuals to practice their individual musical parts.
*
Rehearsals are the places for directors and conductors to literally create a larger collaborative musical instrument called an ensemble.
*
Ensembles serve the musical work as an instrument created from a group of practiced individual musicians collectively performing together.
*
Practicing makes you better.
