Of course not.\u003cbr\u003e Whether you learn on your own or take lessons, it's really difficult to get to a certain level through enough practice. \u003cbr\u003eIt's not just children who hate practicing who learn at the urging or pressure of their parents.\u003cbr\u003e Even adults who started learning on their own without being told to do so eventually reach a point where they start to feel less inclined to practice.\u003cbr\u003e They started out because it seemed cool, but they got frustrated with themselves for only making sounds that weren't cool at all, and then they started to come up with ridiculous excuses to not practice, saying that schoolwork, work, etc. were the priority.\u003cbr\u003e And then, before you know it, you move away from the instrument.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHow can we practice without becoming so detached from our instruments? How can we overcome frustration and annoyance and become more musical? Are there any tips that can be applied to both beginners who are just learning an instrument, and those who already know how to play but want to take it to the next level? Will better days come if we keep going even when our passion wanes? \"Reading When You Don't Want to Practice\" offers refreshing answers to these questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is a 'Guide to Enjoying Practice' written by a musician who has been active as a guitarist and songwriter.\u003cbr\u003e In this book, which sometimes deals with the technical aspects of practicing an instrument and sometimes with the philosophical aspects of the act of practicing, the author discusses why one should focus on movement rather than music, the art of strategic repetition, how to understand with one's hands rather than one's head, and the mindset necessary for those who take up an instrument as an adult. \u003cbr\u003eThis presents an interesting way to develop the mindset and habits necessary for practice, not just playing, and to move beyond learning music to enjoying it.\u003cbr\u003e The author's writing naturally reminds us that practicing an instrument can be just as enjoyable, and will help us discover how to incorporate it into our lives without becoming bored.\u003cbr\u003e So, it will help you enjoy life more and endure more, not just

movement of your fingers, and the results you get from practicing.\u003cbr\u003e When you practice, you should try to understand how all these pieces fit together.\u003cbr\u003e And you have to think

feel when it is about to make the next 'tick' sound. \u003cbr\u003eWhen you intend to, your hands must be able to produce the sound accurately.\u003cbr\u003e It is important to distinguish whether or not a sound was made on time and to apply that distinction to the next sound.\u003cbr\u003e And you have to keep repeating this.\u003cbr\u003e You have to do it in real time, without stopping, without

significantly exceed your current playing ability, there are usually two reasons why a particular section may be difficult.\u003cbr\u003e First, you are practicing at too fast a pace.\u003cbr\u003e Second, I still don't understand it.\u003cbr\u003e (Omitted) Both of these sections that are bothering us can be fixed through looping.\u003cbr\u003e But playing the whole song over and over again

play an instrument. \u003cbr\u003eBecause I am in a position where I have to try to balance my practice with my family and professional obligations.\u003cbr\u003e So adults are left with a somewhat philosophical question:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ㆍHow much better will I be if I do this?\u003cbr\u003e ㆍI will never earn a penny playing music.\u003cbr\u003e But why am I doing

people.\u003cbr\u003e Actually, there is nothing better than this.\u003cbr\u003e Let's think about it for a moment.\u003cbr\u003e Is practicing shooting hoops alone more fun than playing basketball?

Probably not.\u003cbr\u003e However, if you focus on the movement, you will gradually acquire the 'taste of practice'.\u003cbr\u003e This is because, unlike when you only focus on the song itself, you can pay attention to the subtle reactions of your body and adjust something.\u003cbr\u003e When I hit a note wrong, I analyze it from various angles to see how my fingers moved and how my wrists and shoulders moved to improve the sound. \u003cbr\u003eYou will also diligently explore how to hold the pick, bow, or stick to make it feel better, and how to lift your foot off the pedal to make it sound better.\u003cbr\u003e By following the advice in this book and engaging in active, analytical practice while becoming more aware of your own body, you will become more effectively immersed in the movement itself, reducing the chances of boredom.\u003cbr\u003e In this way, the practice becomes more and more multi-layered and interesting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dorothy Taubman, a piano pedagogy expert, said:\u003cbr\u003e “There’s something really sweet about the feeling of a movement being executed correctly.” Later, we’ll delve deeper into other reasons to focus on movement, but for now, let’s just say it’s about joy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e _From Chapter 1, “If you can’t enjoy it, you have to change it until you can enjoy it”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAdults taking on the challenge of learning a musical instrument,\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHow to not get tired on that difficult journey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As we live, there are days when our eyes are drawn to musical instruments.\u003cbr\u003e There are those who gave up on playing an instrument after being forced to attend an academy when they were young, and those who wanted to learn from a young age but were unable to due to financial difficulties, but at some point as adults, they all think, \"Should I give it a try?\"\u003cbr\u003e The same goes for people who know how to play an instrument to some extent.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes, I suddenly feel like taking out my instrument again after a long time and playing a song I've been enjoying lately.\u003cbr\u003e At this time, those who know how to gather their souls and put their execution skills into practice look for academies or watch lecture videos to fuel their will.\u003cbr\u003e But this courageous group soon split into two. \u003cbr\u003ePractice is a mountain that can be overcome by those who maintain their enthusiasm and get closer to a more musical life, and those who cannot overcome that mountain and return to a life without an instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The problem is that adult life is very hectic.\u003cbr\u003e So, time for practice often takes a backseat to work, school, housework, caring for family, exercise, socializing, etc.\u003cbr\u003e After spending a lot of time on your smartphone or television, it's fortunate that you don't finally think about your instrument.\u003cbr\u003e Even those who learn an instrument as a hobby while working in a non-musical field, and even those with a career related to music, find it difficult to find ample time to practice in their daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e The author also expresses it this way in the book.\u003cbr\u003e “The world is not set up to allow us enough practice time.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Besides being busy, there is another big obstacle. \u003cbr\u003eThe thing is, maintaining a passion for an instrument is never easy.\u003cbr\u003e Children taking instrument lessons may have difficulty overcoming their reluctance to practice or being discouraged by the difficulty of the piece, but adults are different.\u003cbr\u003e Unless they discover their extraordinary talents late in life, most adult beginners often feel embarrassed by their own stumbling along with even easy nursery rhymes.\u003cbr\u003e Even if you practice, you will easily feel inferior because you will only be producing sounds that are completely different from the music you have always liked.\u003cbr\u003e If you don't quickly overcome this experience, you're likely to fall into a fundamental sense of doubt, as follows:\u003cbr\u003e 'How much will I improve if I practice this now? I'm not even going to play for a living, so why should I learn this much? ... .'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For those who find the sound of their own instrument sounding pathetic and keep putting off practice time, this book offers meaningful encouragement and harsh criticism. \u003cbr\u003eThe author's candid writing about why difficult parts remain difficult, how to hear music differently, and the benefits of taking a break from your instrument will help reignite your waning enthusiasm.\u003cbr\u003e The direct advice that practice should be our most important thing during the hour we decide to practice, whether it's 15 minutes or eight hours a day, is something that adults who make excuses about being busy should take to heart.\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, for those who find it more difficult to overcome frustration than to make time for practice, the author's teaching that if you enjoy learning an instrument and that fact alone is enough, nothing else matters will serve as a useful frustration prevention measure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As an adult, you can play golf and tennis.\u003cbr\u003e You can also watch a soccer game.\u003cbr\u003e That's good. \u003cbr\u003eBut singing? Playing in a band? Taking lessons? Then these questions might follow.\u003cbr\u003e “Even at that age?”\u003cbr\u003e It doesn't matter why such strange prejudices arise.\u003cbr\u003e Actually, our answer is simple.\u003cbr\u003e “What does it matter?” is the answer.\u003cbr\u003e _In Chapter 6, “There is no rule that says you have to practice an instrument in life,”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow to use a metronome, looping techniques, how to create a practice plan, and more.\u003cbr\u003e Practical Strategies for Creating a More Musical Sound\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Many people think that the sound of musical instruments is simply beautiful.\u003cbr\u003e Of course.\u003cbr\u003e This is because I have only heard the sounds of people who are good at playing.\u003cbr\u003e But anyone who practices an instrument knows.\u003cbr\u003e Depending on who plays it, the instrument can produce anything from elegant sounds that you want to hear over and over again to bizarre noises that test your patience. \u003cbr\u003ePractice is also the process of changing sounds you don't want to hear into sounds you find better to hear.\u003cbr\u003e On that arduous and arduous journey, skill and technique are also important.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book provides practical practice strategies that can be used by anyone, regardless of skill level, by covering in detail how to utilize looping, how to synchronize your body to the sound of a metronome, and what to keep in mind when creating a practice plan.\u003cbr\u003e Among them, the explanation of looping is especially noteworthy for those who are sticking to incorrect practice methods.\u003cbr\u003e The author describes looping as \"the act of repeating a short section of a task over and over again, paying close attention to everything, with a specific task in mind.\"\u003cbr\u003e And through this looping, that is, rather than blindly repeating the entire song or a long section, he reveals that by practicing cutting difficult parts short and repeating them slowly, you can create a better sound. \u003cbr\u003eWhen practicing a favorite song, people usually want to go through the entire song.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, I want to follow the original song in terms of speed.\u003cbr\u003e However, the author asserts that nothing can be fixed by simply practicing a song quickly from beginning to end.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, if you are practicing to get a more pleasant sound, you should keep in mind 'playing correctly' rather than 'playing until the end', and looping is an essential method to play correctly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition to the strategic repetition of looping, the author presents a variety of practical techniques that can be applied immediately.\u003cbr\u003e While some talk about the benefits of visualizing yourself playing well, others suggest making plans to get out of the room and play in front of people or with others at some point. \u003cbr\u003eThese seemingly small but effective suggestions not only provide practical help in creating more musical sounds, but can even give you a new perspective on your practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book, which talks about the difficulties faced by adults when taking on a musical instrument and how to overcome them, will surely add passion to some people's lives.\u003cbr\u003e If you've decided to become an instrumentalist, if you've decided to try playing your favorite songs yourself, you need to dedicate yourself and persist, as this book advises.\u003cbr\u003e There is no need to ask for encouragement from friends who ask if you are trying to learn an instrument at that age, or from acquaintances who only show interest in stocks, dating, childcare, or golf.\u003cbr\u003e Just focus on the process of getting closer to a musical life. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
