Being an artist or a musician is an expedition. There isn't a point somewhere in the middle when you get to claim the title.

A new piece of music you set out to learn is represented by a jar. The things you do to practice the piece are marbles.

In music, body doubling can look like warming up with a friend, playing duets together, or going to the school practice rooms together.

How do you choose with wildly different offers in different locations?

I promise you that no one your age knows what they are doing, some of them are just better at hiding it.
