We learn to see with practice. We see the successes and failures. We see what works and what doesn’t. Practice is a time to try, test, and explore. It is the place where failure opens doors. As we practice, questions emerge. The biggest challenge I face daily is how to practice better. Are there steps I could be taking? Are there motions I could be eliminating? Are there questions I should be asking? And as I looked to understand practice, I came across these words: “You’ve got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.” – Charlie Parker (1920-1955), jazz musician.
I think we often forget the first step: the learning. In order to excel, we must be willing to learn. Basics become great through our practice.
