Music is one of the few academic disciplines which demands this ability and reinforces learning patterns to allow for greater critical assesment. Success is not measured by what we start, but rather by what we complete. In music, every student will be required to play the entire composition from beginning to end. Although there may be errors in the performance, it is most unusual to see an individual simply stop and put the instrument away. The important qualities of tenacity and persistence establish habits for positive, productive living.
Success breeds success in every avenue of life.
Therefore, a successful and well-trained musician does tackle life with a knowledge of what it takes to get there, and the wisdom of what it brings to life.
