#29. SuzukiCast, Back to the Groove, week 4 - On TIME

By now we've established : 1. pleasant practice (episode 23). 2. Turning up (episode 25) and 3. Practice content (episode 27).  This week we  talk about  time - this rare commodity in today's world.  We want to help our children develop the skill of playing the instrument.  "The development of ability cannot be accomplished by mere thinking or theorising, but must be accompanied by action and practice ." (Shinichi Suzuki).  Time is connected to routine. Practice routine is the skeleton of practice. As "Student’s ability grows at home" (Suzuki), you don’t want to wait for the lesson to improve your child’s ability. This episode talks about WHEN to practice and HOW LONG to practice.  And finally in Suzuki words: " If one child practices 15 minutes a day, and another child practices three hours a day, it takes the second child THREE MONTHS to accomplish what the first accomplishes is NINE YEARS! Most people would say:  The second child was more talented that the first. This of course is not true; he/she has simply practiced more."  ++++++ IF YOU LIKE THIS PODCAST and WANT TO HELP,  please lick the PayPal link http://bit.ly/PayPal-Souloist.
