“Everyone has beautiful music hidden within their souls and the music is yearning to be unleashed through the piano.”
—Sachiko Kato
Many students sit at the piano for hours on the misguided assumption that if they practice long enough results will emerge; they equate physical effort with productive work. But that doesn’t always follow. If you really want to learn to play better, you must engage your mind while practicing. In this book, concert pianist and dedicated teacher Sachiko Kato reveals how the piano led her to life lessons and wisdom about personal growth that redefined what it means to practice the piano. This practice method shows readers how to open the mind and produce results at the piano.
