Marcel Proust in his epic work À la recherche du temps perdu (In search of lost time) presents his thesis that habit and art are opposing forces. Like unkept weeds, if we are mindless with our habitual activities, we can become distracted and distanced from our core personalities.
It is more of a passive ongoing fog that develops over time. Habit seems like an unlikely subject to overrun anything. Music and art is important to you, but your dedication and prioritization have been overrun by habit. The second possibility, however, gets me a little agitated.Ģ. There are other things in life that you deem more important, and therefore you dedicate time to those other, more important things. They are not making a commentary on the price, they are saying this is, or is not, valuable to me.ġ.Music and art is just not that important to you. It is the same way people speak when they do or do not make a purchase. What I believe is that the underlying answer is: Music isn’t important enough to me to make time for it.

Or, “I will start up again once I have space to breathe” One that you might resonate with.Īpart from the few that had moved on from guitar, or those who simply weren’t interested anymore, the vast majority of people said the same thing:
After receiving the replies, I started to see a trend. I hadn’t heard from these guitarists in a while, and I was wondering if they were still interested in learning classical guitar online. Over the last few days I have reached out to some of the subscribers on the Classical Guitar Corner mailing list. Somehow, in this post I have managed to tie in Marcel Proust, Winston Churchill, and your practice habits… it may be a little vague now, but I hope you will be with me by the end.
