There is a very well-known quote by Helen Hayes, “The expert at anything was once a beginner“. When you begin your journey to be a musician, you need patience, practice and PERSEVERANCE.
So, what is PERSEVERANCE? It is the determination to keep going or the will-power to continue your journey.
A journey of a musician is like a roller coaster ride. Whether you aspire to become a concert pianist or play just for fun, you will sometimes feel as if there is “No progress” and that’s called PLATEAU. It could last for as short as a week or even months. Plateau is a period of accumulation meaning whatever you learn – techniques, pieces, muscle memory; they are all advancing but you may NOT notice the progress until one day when you suddenly realize that you are able to do it!
So, have a ‘Don’t quit’ attitude, and keep working towards your dream to play Piano.
Happy Practicing!
