Motivation: Wie ich lernte, die Disziplin im Training zu lieben
Um erfolgreich zu sein, bedarf es Fleiß – und weniger Talent, als viele meinen. Disziplin gilt als die Voraussetzung schlechthin, um Ziele zu erreichen. Doch wie umarmt man sie endlich?
The author reflects on their journey to develop discipline in their musical training. If they were inherently disciplined, this article would not exist. At 14 years old, they began playing an instrument, but always hated practicing and avoided it altogether. Despite their desire to become a musician, they pursued other roles such as playing with the Volunteer Fire Brigade's brass ensemble, the local school orchestra, a big band, and a funk band.
The author's training regimen included scales, technique exercises, warming up, and breathing exercises, but never focused on actual music-making. This approach worked well until a trumpet teacher asked if they had any other professional aspirations in mind. The author is no longer in that career. Discipline, discipline, discipline is required to learn an instrument.
Practice is key. Parents constantly urge their children to practice at least 30 minutes daily, and the author understands the importance of this advice. The author acknowledges that exercising is part of sports training, but they choose not to do it. They should, but they hate it and refuse to do it.
