About this listen

Talent means nothing when it comes to getting better. Practice is everything. But exactly what is good practice? How does good practice create talent?

The focus of this book is music practice, but these techniques and mindsets can be applied to any skill you want to improve. The Practice of Practice covers essential practice strategies and mindsets you won't find in any other book. You'll learn what research tells us about practice, but more importantly, you'll learn how great musicians in many genres of music think about practice, and you'll learn the strategies and techniques they use to improve.

This book will help you get better faster, whether you play rock, Bach, or any other kind of music. It will also help you be a more informed teacher or a more effective parent of a young learner. Don't practice longer, practice smarter.

Whilst focused mainly on music there is a lot of directly applicable advice for practice generally. Well worth a listen, particularly firt half before talking specific music practices.

I'm not a musician but got a lot out of it

Very straight-forward and simpe explanation of each points with proven research. Small simple and easily implementable practice tips that will go a long way. Will require a few listens to get the most of it. Definitely did not expect i would enjoy a book about practice this much

Love it
