Practice makes what?
🎻 “Practice doesn’t make perfect — it makes permanent.”
Wise words from cello selector Mark Yee (@markyeecello ), who reminds us that how you practice matters just as much as how much you practice.
✅ Be mindful.
🎧 Listen deeply.
🎯 Keep your standards high.
Don’t just go through the motions — create something you’re proud of, even in the practice room.
🎬 Orchestra lesson + reference videos drop July 14 on @ensembleblock !
