A man most people know for his incredible but challenging basketball career, Michael Jordan, once said when giving tips on how to be successful like himself, “You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the levels of everything you do will rise. I’m not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.” Although some may disagree and say that quality practices do not go hand in hand with quantity practice for successful people, I disagree. Successful people practice with a purpose: to be successful. Bill Gates had intentions of becoming successful when spending endless hours in the computer lab. The Beatles always had it in their plans to become better each performance when they would play eight hours a day in Germany. Based on evidence, it seems to be a pattern that a successful individual does have both a practice of quality and quantity in their vocabulary to mean the same thing. These individuals have therefore taught themselves hard work, because this idea of 10,000 hours of practice has allowed them to learn how to work for what they

Part practice is where the skill is essentially broken down into a series of discrete skills. At this stage, the skill entails: -

In order to become an expert performer Abbott and Collins (2004) suggest that talent development requires the possession of Psychological Characteristics for Developing Excellence (PCDE), which as the performer moves through the transition phases become further developed. PCDE’s are both trait characteristics and state related skills such as self-belief, dedication and discipline (Abbott and Collins, 2004). Another significant aspect of becoming an expert musician is deliberate practice. Deliberate practice requires determination with the correct motivation for the performer, and the necessary time and effort roughly equating to 10,000 hours (Ericsson et al., 1993). MacNamara, Holmes and Collins (2008) state that expert musicians require numerous aspects to reach the highest level; natural talent and/or deliberate practice combined with social context and significant others are needed to maintain performance at this high level. As talent is developed, the performer moves

Practicing for 10,000 hours only affects ability by 21%. For practicing for as long as 10,000 hour is, that’s not that much improvement. In an analysis done by Princeton on 88 studies of deliberate practice, practice accounted for just 12% of a difference on various types of crafts and skills. In one domain, professions, deliberate practice accounted for just 1% of improvement. This is because it’s not a stable area, meaning that it’s always changing so practice doesn’t necessarily do you much good.

Goleman suspects that people only stop becoming amaturs and start becoming experts is when they give their full and close attention during their study or practice time. By being focused and aware of their actions, Goleman explains that people can challenge themselves during their rehearsal time by changing their actions, which helps them improve and is key to their success. Even though practice is important, Goleman believes that people don’t need to worry about the hours of improvement but need to be more concern about putting all of their mind and awareness to their area of importance. Practice and repetition are important, I believe but not half as much as giving attention and consideration during the time you are spending working on becoming

“A theory of general psychology that states the differences between expert performers and normal adults reflect a life-long period of deliberate effort to improve performance in a specific domain. (Ericsson, K. A).”

Gladwell’s argument on mastery focuses on preparation and time. His evidence for the claim that mastery is achieved through preparation is found in the example of the Music Academy in Berlin. Gladwell uses the finding that the separation between the proficient violinists and the exceptional violinists in the prestigious academy was practice. Preparation with intensity and focus distinguished these musicians from the rest. Gladwell emphasizes that time is also needed to achieve excellency. The reason is

The film opens with Andrew practicing freely on his drumset. His head swings and his body moves with the music. Andrew’s white shirt and the high-key lighting on his kit sharply contrast the dimly lit corridor that we see him through, and highlights his unadulterated nature. As the shot dollies in on Andrew (who remains in the shot’s center), we see just how focused he is on his drumming. Additionally, the dolly reveals a picture of a jazz drummer (likely a jazz legend) to the left of Andrew. In placing this picture in the shot, Damien Chazelle sheds light on Andrew’s motivations; he wants to be “a great” (as he says later in the film).

In the beginning of the school year, we were assigned to read Peak by Anders Ericsson and Robert Pool. Throughout the book, I learned some types of practice, such as naive, purposeful practice, and most important deliberate practice. I learned deliberate practice can be applied to every subject such as sports, music, and even in the medical field. Deliberate practice includes pushing yourself out of your comfort zone in order to improve. To do deliberate practice, we have to challenge homeostasis. Homeostasis means to act in a way to maintain its own stability. Once again, you have to push yourself harder and harder. This will make you adapt and the you will have a new comfort zone which eclipses your previous comfort

“There are no two words in the English Language more harmful than “good job””. This remarkable and motivational quote from Whiplash was delivered by Terrance Fletcher, the mesmerizing music instructor at one of the most prestigious music academies in the nation; the role performed flawlessly by J.K. Simmons. Simmons put on one of the greatest and most unforgettable performances I have ever seen in film with his highly motivational, yet extremely vulgar and wrathful behavior. He shows his raging personality best

Examine how much time you have to prepare for the performance and base on that information design a timeline that you can follow so that you stay on track of your preparation goals. Next, once a timeline has been established and you have decided what you are going to play the performer should begin working on the music at a tempo in which they can play every note accurately with little effort. In the learning process the goal should be building on correct habits, this means that from the beginning you are playing the music as accurate as possible without any mistakes. This will program your body to knowing only one way the play the music, the correct way. Although tedious, over the long haul the perform will be force to learn based on a good foundation which will make the learning process much easier and it will minimize any bad habits learned in the

The is a variety of movies that can attain people’s attention. Whiplash is one of many amazing films that presents that presents a moral to the audience and critics. It presents the idea that certain adolescents have goals to achieve. In the movie, the protagonist, Andrew Neiman attends to a prestigious music school in New York. As the time progresses, he confronts many obstacles on the path to his success. Andrew’s mother abandoned him at an early age, this situation forges him to become closer to his father. At Shaffer school, the music instructor, Terence Fletcher, discovers Andrew exactly when he was playing drums. Additionally, the famous conductor asked him to form part of the band. Innocently, the ambitious and inspired Neiman

Cote et al. (2007) points out the principle of the power law of practice, where great improvements are seen in the initial stages of practice, but the improvements level-off as one becomes an expert. This power relationship seems to be converted into a more linear relationship with increased deliberate practice. Violinists were studied, and time spent in deliberate practice was examined. By 18 years of age, experts accumulated 7,400 hours of practice, whereas intermediate-level performers had 5,300 hours, and lower-level performers only completed 3,400 hours. This linear law of practice seems to be generalizable to other domains, namely sport and chess (Cote et al., 2007, pp. 185). Although deliberate practice is very important, it is not the sole predictor of elite-level

These physical behaviours are learned through repetitive practice. A learner’s ability to perform these skills is based on precision, speed, distance, and technique. Learners’ general objectives would be to writes smoothly and legibly; accurately reproduces a picture, operates a computer skilfully,

The analyzation of deep practice is the main purpose of chapter 1 of “The Talent Code”.In particular, the author wants to explain that the deep practice is the best way to get skills. Deep practice is characterized by practicing more and more time the same exercise,making a lot of mistakes, until the individual can perform it properly without making any mistakes,saving the time.
