"Perfect Practice Makes Perfect!"

You can:

1) Practice things right.

2) Practice the right things.




While both statements are extremely important, I personally prefer the second option over the first. It's very easy to get sidetracked and focus on the wrong things in your practicing.

Make an effort to first practice the right things... then make sure you practice those things right rather than practicing the wrong things right. Sounds tricky. Just read it a few times. It's actually applicable to many things outside of music as well.




Some of you may relate to me on this next point...

Have you ever felt stuck in the same ole' place? Playing the same chords? The same patterns? The same progressions? The same runs you learned in the 90s?

I've been there too. Trust me. I think every musician has...

...Until they decide to make a change.




All the information one needs to excel in their playing is out there in one form or another. Either stuck in the heads of a select group of musicians (who don't want to share it) -or- in courses like the GospelKeysTM Series.

Not to get deep or anything but energy is neither created nor destroyed --- merely transferred or converted.

Brought to musical terms:

Basically, all the chords... all the progressions... all the movements... all the fancy tricks... all the contemporary methods of playing... all the voicings ARE ALREADY OUT THERE!

The top musicians have mastered them. They know how to play all styles. They know what to do (and what not to do) to make their playing sound contemporary.

It's the musicians who don't have the privilege of hanging around the professional musicians who play for top artists, that don't get this "TRANSFERENCE" of energy (i.e. - "the right chords, movements, runs, fill-ins, etc").

Ok, simply put.

It's Called "Shedding"

It's where musicians get together to share chords, runs, licks, and tricks.

The problem is that some musicians are invited... some aren't.

It's a catch-22 because if you're already good, you shed with others and become even better. If you're not so good, you sink because you don't know the right things to practice to take your piano playing to the next level.

So you get stuck under this glass ceiling, practicing and playing the same stuff over and over --- REHEARSING what you already know rather than learning new stuff... fresh techniques... getting your piece of the knowledge that's already out there --- the "energy!"
