Story: Mistakes are the Way Things Are
"An expert is a person who has found out by painful experience all the mistakes that one can make in a very narrow field." —Niels Bohr
Making mistakes is the way we learn. If we stick in our field and don’t give up, we have the potential to eventually become an expert. If that’s all that is required to become an expert, why do so few of us actually achieve it?
Often I think that it is our perception of mistakes. Mistakes in music performance are to be avoided. This can carry over into practice and rehearsal were a mistake is looked upon as a negative occurrence, to be avoided at all costs. What if we included mistakes as a natural part of the learning process and performance? How would that change the way we approach learning and performance?
Replace should-be with acknowledging the way things are. You or someone in the group made a mistake. It should not have happened but it did. It is now part of the performance. Even though it was unintended, how you and the group handle it will affect the performance of the piece going forward. If you learn to roll with the mistakes in rehearsal maybe the mistakes won’t feel so defeating in the performance.
In a way, the way we think about and handle our mistakes is just a concept, not reality. Because if we view mistakes as to be avoided, we prepare so we don’t make mistakes. If we view mistakes as part of the way things are, then we can prepare to perform to the best of our ability rather than to avoid mistakes.
Bottom Line: Change your perception, become an expert.
