One of the best books I've read recently was Molly Gebrian's "Learn Faster, Perform Better", a book about how the brain scientifically responds to learning music and how we can approach practice to maximize what the brain does best. This is the first of 3 episodes where I share my notes. In this first episode, we talk about the basics of music and neurology when it comes to learning, how to schedule your practice effectively, how to fix bad habits, and quite a bit more when it comes to effective practice basics.

Have you ever heard that classical musicians only like classical music, or that composers are free spirits who are guided by the muse, or that they all love to stay up late at night and get up late in the morning? Stereotypes are fun because each one is true for SOME musicians, but not for all and often not for most. Sometimes musicians themselves may fit a stereotype and not realize that many other musicians aren't the same. After you listen to these 10 stereotypes, let me know what you think I missed.
