Habit 3: Stopping after mistakes
This is certainly something I recognise. In the beginning of my learning I would just stop dead in my tracks and go back usually to the beginning of the piece. I am slowly weening myself off this habit, but it’s difficult. Picking up at a random place in a piece again another Achilles heal. These are all points Ben has said to me prior to this course. It just seems I can focus on these sort of challenges better. It’s so easy to get focussed on just the technical playing of a piece without having time to think about these sort of issues.
