Practice Makes Permanent

Hi I’m Vi Wickam and this is another [my] Talent Forge Quick Practice Tip for you!

Practice makes permanent.

Now, we’ve all heard the axiom practice makes perfect.

But, in reality, whatever it is that you’re practicing and however it is you’re practicing, it will become your default way of playing that.

So, if you’re practicing lazy habits- you’re slouching, you’re playing scratchy, you’re not using enough bow… Whatever it is- if you make a habit of that, it becomes the way you play.

So every time you approach your instrument, and if you approach it with intention, focus, concentration, and listening, you will create habits that you want to have instead of habits that you’re going to have to break later.

So, remember how you practice, is how you will play!

Practice makes permanent.

And that’s your Quick Tip this week! See you next one!
