We all heard during our life a professional classical musician saying that he was practicing seven or sometimes even eight hours a day. Didn’t you ? Well, the immense Russian cellist and composer Mstislav Leopoldovich Rostropovich wasn’t of that opinion.
I think this is an important subject to point out today since some musicians, nowadays, focus on quantity rather than quality.
I believe that each and every musician has a different way of practicing and since every person is different than the other, they grow at their own pace.
I strongly agree with the idea that having shorter but regular and deeply focused practice hours can result in a good outcome in this case.
In addition, I strongly believe in the theory of practicing every day (even if just for 30 minutes) rather than pouring all your energy into one full day of practice and having to take few days later to recharge. For my part, practicing my instrument daily was the best way to achieve fast and efficient results.
Very interesting read.
