What is Deliberate Practice?

The Short Version

Deliberate practice is focused activity with clear goals, high repetition, and continuous feedback. It differs from just playing by reaching beyond your current level, demanding high concentration and reflection.
Self-recording lets you hear how you actually play and track your progress over weeks and months. Listening back to recordings reveals what you really sound like and helps you chart improvement in your playing.
