What I don’t like so much is repetitive drills. That’s not so uncommon, I know. I have to keep reminding myself of the value of repetition, of getting the movement ingrained into my body so that I hardly have to think about it. But it’s kind of boring. What to do?
It’s gotten worse lately because there are other students who aren’t getting it as fast as I do. I’m impatient to move faster. I want to know what’s next. I don't want to keep doing same ol', same ol'.
So this is my challenge. Accepting that learning a new skill like a musical form is something that requires the discipline of repetition (i.e., old stuff).
Do you have any areas in your life where you’re rushing through to the next new thing and not taking time to develop some mastery of what you already know?
