Hey Theodore!

When I was studying piano, I was taught that two hours of concentrated, alert practice is much better than a tiresome eight hours of grueling practice. Also taught not to practice mistakes. Better to practice a Beethoven Sonata at a fraction of the tempo, making sure all the notes and fingering is precise. Then gradually increase the tempo. As far as composing goes, I’ve been nonstop for decades. Normal day… composing in the morning, recording in the afternoon, and mixing/ editing after dinner. Yeah, a creature of habit.

Best, John smile
