When a musician practices to improve his performance, what is he measuring
his performance against? Don't you think he/she has some ideal or goal in
mind which practice will raise the performance to? Or do you think any
improvement is merely serendipitous and they are only able to see
improvement after the fact? That would be a position I can't agree with.
I've spent too much time adjusting my hold, my release, my breathing, my
coordination just to put a bullet in the center of a target. I knew exactly
what I wanted my mind and body to do for me. It just took a long time and a
lot of practice to get them to do it.
Cheers,
Grant
