Psychologists call this the tutor effect. It’s even effective for novices: the best way to learn something is to teach it. You remember it better after you recall it—and you understand it better after you explain it. All it takes is embracing the discomfort of putting yourself in the instructor’s seat before you’ve reached mastery. Even just being told you’re going to teach something is enough to boost your learning.
Hidden Potential
Adam Grant
Making music with others is a profoundly intimate experience. Philosopher Bennett Reimer described it as a self-combined-with-other-selves experience in which individuality and community are fused in service of original musical expression. So powerful is this experience in enhancing both the sense of self and the sense of self united with other selves as to change the inner lives of all who have been privileged to undergo it.2 Practice with others. You’ll find that bouncing ideas off another musician will go a long way toward improving your own approach and clarifying what you need to do next. And the very best part about practicing with others is that it’s fun. It can be lonely sitting in a practice room all alone, hour after hour, day after day. Practicing with other people is much more enjoyable. Sometimes, there is beer. And fire. And stars.
The Practice of Practice
