The article rings true from my experience; prodigies are created through many many hours of guided practice by a teacher who has studied highly effective learning strategies. Here at PCMS, we are not driven to create an army of prodigies, but we are purposing to effectively train our students to become the best musicians they can be. Our desire is for them to have as terrific, fulfilling, satisfying, stimulating, exhilarating, interesting, and fun an experience as possible, within our limited 50 minutes a day in the classroom and minimum of 15 minutes a night of practicing.
