If you have solid practice habits in terms of dedicated time to your instrument you will get better, if you combine sold practice habits with a solid practice technique you will improve much faster, ten times faster, 50 times faster, it can make a massive difference in you ability to improve quickly.
Day 6 is here and I want to talk about something very important. Practice, yes Allen, practice, we are talking about practice, and how 1/4 is such an important number because that is the size that you want to break things down in to make them easier to learn. The 1/4 note is the smallest manageable piece so that is what we focus on and once you have master 1/4 of a measure you add another 1/4 and another 1/4 until you have mastered the measure. Having mastered a measure means the ability to play that measure in a circle over and over again. You would then do the same thing with the next measure, 1/4 by 1/4 until you have that on mastered and after you would combine the two. One you feel extremely comfortable with those two, it is time to learn the third, and you guessed it, you do it 1/4 measure at a time.
This piece by piece approach is the fastest way to learning a song, because if you don't have time to do it right, you won't have time to do it twice, taking it a little slower at the start will actually save a lot of long time in the long run. Rushing through the process of learning an instrument does not benefit you. You also want to be able to count all these ideas out loud, so find a quite space where you can be alone because verbalizing what you are playing helps a tremendous amount, and you want to say the rests as well, treat them as notes that don't get played instead of empty spots in the music, both of this tips will also help your playing enormously.
