🎼 Motivation is cultivated by setting and accomplishing long-term musical goals, such as learning a challenging piece, which teaches endurance, internal natural motivation, and growth mindset of lifelong learning. 🧡
Long-term goals, such as learning a difficult piano piece, create goal and purpose to study harder.
In order to achieve a big goal, set manageable small goals as stepping stones.
For example, this week, only work on the tempo, and next week work, on the dynamics, etc.
Intrinsic motivation comes when the undertaking itself is rewarding & gratifying—when a student plays for the love of expression or the joy of accomplishment.
When the focus is on personal improvement rather than comparison with others, true inspiration arises.
Doing a daily practice at the same time each day to make it a habit is one of the most effective ways to improve your skill.
Also giving yourself recognition and celebrating your achievements is important for a long-term success.
Curiosity & enthusiasm matter so much more than perfection in life.
