Today I met someone at Annenberg. She is one of the 13 people in my class doing the Harvard-Berklee dual degree program. I told her I always wondered what if I had spent more time on music? Even though I have played piano for 15 years, it was not rigorous practice — and never competitively (except probably once in elementary school). I exchanged my time doing music with time doing academics. Now my fingers can’t move fast enough and I can’t fully play out my music interpretations.
Except that she told me she also thought of the same question before. The key is that you always have 30 minutes a day. Set up a metronome then just practice. You’ll improve regardless.
So I just came back from the first hour of piano practice in months.
