Repetition without attention just reinforces bad habits. Playing a tune 100 times only helps if you played it correctly, not just repeatedly — growth requires paying attention, not going through the motions.
Run through seven questions on every passage: notes, gracenotes, form, timing, tempo, clean playing, repeatability. Each point targets a specific failure mode, so when a passage gives you trouble you can diagnose exactly which of the seven is breaking down instead of just drilling blindly.
Ten to twenty minutes of mindful practice beats an hour of mindless repetition. The students who improve fastest aren't the ones who practice the most — they're the ones who practice with the most focus and attention.
