I ran across this excerpt of Chick Corea practicing a piece by Bach and I
|
||
|
|
thought I would share it with you. Notice how even a phenomenal pianist like
|
||
|
|
Corea still breaks his practice down following the basic principles we
|
||
|
|
discussed back a few months ago: having a defined objective (a specific piece),
|
||
|
|
highly focused, incorporates immediate feedback (notice how he immediately
|
||
|
|
stops himself on making a mistake), and pushes the boundaries of his comfort

In particular, look at how he tackles the parts of the pieces that are
|
||
|
|
challenging him. He slows it down to the point where he can play it correctly
|
||
|
|
with no mistakes. Then he breaks the part down until he can figure out how he
|
||
|
|
needs to play it. He even makes notes to himself in the music.
