Why Playing Progress Stalls: Jason Vieaux

For Jason the secret to playing better is to set very specific goals. “A talented player can get very far by putting in the hours, but most will improve quicker if they practice with purpose,” says Vieaux, who has played with over 100 different orchestras around the world. “You can play for 10 hours a day, but if you aren’t focused you may not get better. Finding a good teacher is important because they will help you set realistic goals, which will lead to better technique."
