Model What Works

Some of the most successful people in the world did one simple thing.

They copied someone else who did it before them.

Not plagiarism, of course. That's illegal. But, they modeled someone else who achieved the success they wanted to achieve.

And you can do it too.

Struggle getting your kids to practice? Talk with a parent who's awesome at getting their kids to practice. See what you can learn, and try what they did.

Having trouble starting a business? Find someone who started one. See what they did. Try it yourself.

Some might call this "hacking." When done well, it's pretty cool.

As a shortcut, it will save you a lot of time and heartache. It could even save you from quitting. 

Because even if something feels impossible, there's usually at least one person in the world who did it.

So, ask how they did it. Then, go do the same thing yourself.

Never miss a blog post!

For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.

When 2 + 2 = 10

When it comes to practicing, most people don’t get how time works. People think the amount of practice time is most important. Rather than the frequency. Logic tells us this: Practicing 5 minutes for six days would be the same as practicing 30 minutes for one day. It adds up to the same total minutes, so the benefits are the same.
