When you practice, it's not all about what you're doing in the moment. It's also what happens after.
For example, when you practice meditation. It's not just about the 10-minutes of disconnecting from the world. It's also about feeling more relaxed for hours afterwards.

Or when you exercise. The thirty minutes of discomfort is the price you pay to get to feel better all day long.
Practicing is about more than just practicing. It's also about how you get to feel during all those hours you're not practicing.
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.
