Today we’re talking with  Dr. Jonathan Harnum, whose PhD research was focused on the topic of music practice. Dr. Harnum studied how a wide variety of musicians think about and execute practice to be able to reach such high levels of ability.   The result of Dr. Harnum’s research is a book called  The Practice Of Practice, which we strongly recommend checking out. The Practice of Practice is a highly-readable treasure trove of all the latest ideas, understanding, techniques and insights on what makes for effective music practice and how you can learn better and faster.   From a classical upbringing to an exciting 2-year road-trip of discovering improvisation, Jonathan Harnum’s own musical journey is fascinating!  We were excited to have the chance to speak with him and share some of the ideas from The Practice of Practice to inspire and accelerate your music learning.   If you heard our recent  interview with Gregg Goodhart on the topic of practice then you’ll find this is a beautiful counterpoint. Although the broad topic is the same, this is a very different conversation - but similarly packed with insights and nuggets that can pay off for your own music practice.   In this conversation you’ll hear about:   • A simple way to reframe how you think about difficult things which can immediately transform frustration and helplessness into empowered eagerness. • The neurological research which proves that watching live music can be a highly valuable form of practice too. • How “guerilla practice” can help you fit in genuinely effective music practice even amid the busiest of lives.   You’re going to really enjoy Dr. Harnum’s insights on improvising, creativity, broadening the idea of what music practice can be, and some of the very specific actionable ideas he shares along the way.

215: What Music Practice Really Means, with Jonathan Harnum (The Practice Of Practice)

As you probably know, I started The Aspiring Guitarist as an outlet for my obsession for getting better at guitar. Over the years I’ve expanded also to other topics, but how to practice guitar more efficiently is still my favorite topic. For a long time I thought that I am the only weirdo who finds pleasure in studying this subject but fortunately that is not true. There are quite a few people who know much more about practicing much more. And Jonathan Harnum is definitely one of them. Jonathan Harnum is the author of a fantastic book called The Practice of Practice that focuses on how do we get better on musical instrument. In this book Jonathan distilled his own musical experience, latest scientific research and insights from many highly accomplished musicians  into a very interesting and easy-to-read guide that can help you get more out of your practice time. I highly recommend The Practice of Practice! Moreover, Jonathan was kind enough and agreed to do an interview for The Aspiring Guitarist. I hope you’ll enjoy this episode. In this episode you learn:  Why you should stop counting how many hours you practice and what’s wrong with the 10 000 hour rule? How to measure you day-to-day progress on guitar? How to practice guitar when you have a limited amount of time? What are the biggest mistakes advanced musicians do when practicing? How to cultivate your patience so you can get more done? What are Jonathan’s favorite books about music and practice?
