Read- Set-Learn!


The following comments are based on the concept of deep practice as described by Daniel Coyle in The Talent Code, pages1-94.

I personally find the concept of deep practice very encouraging. It helps me to understand the why behind whether I succeed or fail. It also helps me to recognize how my actions and words might be either helping or hindering my student's progress, enjoyment and success!

In what ways do you see your child "deep practicing", not just in music, but in life? Please describe what this looks like. When do they resemble Clint Eastwood?

How can we encourage deep practice in the areas we want?

For next week, please read pages 97-138. The topic is "Ignition!"
