talent or discipline?
on: August 22, 2004, 03:15:11 PM
hi!  i was wondering, is it more important for become a good pianist to have a huge talent or strong discipline in practising???
i read in one article that is 90% of discipline and 10% of talent, is it true?

for professionals, I'd say its 50/50..
Performing piano professionally is not what everybody can do...

You need a talent for discipline and you need to discipline your talent. ;)
