Learn and improve a piece
on: March 26, 2012, 05:56:02 PM
I think there is a difference between learn and improve a piece. 

Learning is memorizing the notes, this is what I think. Improving the piece consists on giving the right timing, right flowing, right speed, etc.

If my perception is correct, then improving a piece takes more time than learning it, is that correct?
