There are no quick worthwhile results.
Extreme amounts of repetition are necessary.
Poor execution causes more harm than good.
A stupid approach means years of frustration and wasted time.
Each session is best planned in advance.
Showing off is detrimental to real progress.
More time is spent worrying than doing.

when playing pop music - the amount of repetition can be dramatically reduced, if you utilise numbers colours and patterns such as www.decplaypiano.com - repeating small phrases until they are memorised and then identifying similar or identical phrases, can break down a song into very easy to learn sections which are far quicker to learn.

Totally agreed.
Here is something that might make all the practice a little more fun.
Join us on the global map of musicians and start collaborating with your local musicians!
If you like it, you can encourage others to join by embedding the map anywhere you like...
