Quiz

  1. A low-pressure practice block is built around a short daily session. How long is that block, and what is its three-part shape?

    • About 30 minutes: warm-up, five different skills, cool-down
    • About 45 minutes: scales, theory, then performance
    • About 10 minutes: warm-up, one skill focus, fun finish
  2. You had a great practice session and the ten-minute timer has not rung yet, but you feel like continuing for another half hour. What does the lesson recommend?
    • Keep going as long as motivation lasts, since more time means faster progress
    • Turn it into a forty-minute session and restart the streak counter

  3. Which of these is the best weekly skill focus for a beginner?

    • Play everything at full speed to build reflexes
  4. What do the three perfectionist stalls (restart loop, tool hunt, endless edit) have in common?
    • They all come from a lack of talent

    • There is no defined moment called 'done', so the piece stays open forever
