This book is proposing a challenge for you and it’s very simple to try. Simply choose one piece to practice and focus on that piece for 7 days straight.
Take some quick notes about your progress using the provided checklist. Some guidance has also been provided for you , with suggested focus points for each day.
It’s my belief that you might make more progress in 7 days than you’ve seen in many months or even years.
Imagine if you sustained this kind of focus for months, years and decades. This is the secret of the greats - sustained focus over long periods of time.
With sustained focus over years, you can play the most difficult pieces like it’s second nature. That’s because you’ve repeated it so many times, thought about it so many ways, that you know it as well (or even better) than your best friends.
In fact, the pieces that used to be extremely challenging will indeed become your friends. Your relationship with music will change from one on anxiety and disappointment, to joy and fulfilment.
“Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.”
—- Proverbs 4:25-27
