As baby learning to talk :
- We hear talking all day long
- We have the right to do mistakes, we embrace mistakes
- We practice with professionals (not with other babies), it is called “jamming with professionals”
- We play more than we practice
- We talk before we write or read
- We give meaning to what we say
Music should be learnt the same way. The music comes from the musician, not the instrument, and you’d better have something to say …
