MESSAGE #374 PEAK PERFORMANCE IN MUSIC

Today’s message is especially dedicated to all the great performers out there.

Last night I had the fortunate opportunity to spend some time with Dr. Charles Frantz, Director of The Conservatory of Music. Dr. Frantz has a diverse background in music that includes teaching, writing and presenting. He has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Academy of Music and many other venues. He is also an Assistant Professor of Musicology at Westminster Choir College.

In speaking with Dr. Frantz, I saw that peak performance in music is no different than peak performance in sports or any other area of life. Hard work is crucial. Dr. Frantz said that two months before a recital he practices the music 2-3 hours per day.

I asked Dr. Frantz if anyone could become good at the piano or guitar. Here’s what he said…

“If they have the right training, desire and put in the time, anyone can be good.”

Remember, life’s not a talent game, it’s a strategy game. Learn the correct strategies and put in the time, then anything is possible.

So if you’ve been wanting to pick up the guitar or learn the piano but didn’t think you would be good. I’m telling you right now that the ability is already inside you, just learn the strategy.

To learn the strategy from the great Dr. Charles Frantz…
