If you want to do something, DO IT!!! Practice according to the correct method. Practicing as much as possible is the way to acquire ability. If one is faithful to the principle, superior skill develops without fail. If you compare a person who practices 5 minutes a day with one who practices 3 hours a day, the difference is enormous. Those who fail to practice sufficiently fail to acquire ability. ~Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured by Love, p. 97
People either become experts at doing the right thing, ...or they become experts at doing something wrong and unacceptable. ~Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured by Love, p. 98
Help will always be given to those who ask.
Stop lamenting lack of talent and develop talent instead. ~Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured by Love, p. 42
Without music, life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Nietzche
Every MINUTE [students] spend working on their reading now will end up saving them an HOUR of practice in the future. ~Philip Johnston, The Practice Revolution, p. 105
