The focus of this book is music practice, but these techniques and mindsets can be applied to any skill you want to improve. The Practice of Practice covers essential practice strategies and mindsets you won't find in any other book. You'll learn what research tells us about practice, but more importantly, you'll learn how great musicians in many genres of music think about practice, and you'll learn the strategies and techniques they use to improve.

Mostly a good book with some issues
Reviewed: 12-13-20
Overall a very good book. I actually learned a lot, but I had issues with the book talking about the importance of being around the right peers and the right teachers as if it's the only way to learn to play music.
I don't disagree with the notion that good teachers/peers will definitely help enhance learning, but the book ignores people's situations where they might not have access to any of those things. It would've been nice if the book provided alternative solutions for that too.
But there's more than enough helpful content to figure out how to teach yourself until you can afford a teacher.
