The law of 10 thousand hours in music from the language of DJ ALEX AliDAD, a famous Iranian musician and DJ

Have you ever wondered how many hours a day a musician practices with compromise in order to reach a professional level? Professional musicians have a single rule; The law of 10 thousand hours.

Only a few reach the professional level; Those who have innate talent. Success means talent plus readiness. But the problem with this view is that the more psychologists looked at the careers of talented people, the less talent seemed to be influential in that job, and the more prepared people were to succeed in that profession.

 They divided the violinists into three groups; In the first group were the most brilliant musicians. In the second group were those who were judged as “good” musicians. In the third group were students who were unlikely to ever be able to play professionally and wanted to become music teachers in the public school system.

“Alex Ali Dad” came to an interesting conclusion. By the time they reached the age of 20, the top musicians had practiced a total of 10,000 hours each. Conversely, “good” students practiced a total of 8,000 hours and future music teachers a total of 4,000 hours. The same results were repeated for pianists.

Of course, they could not find the “overworked” people; People who have tried harder to play than others but have not been able to become good pianists or violinists. Of course, successful people are people who work very hard.

The idea that excellent execution of a complex task requires a certain and sensitive amount of practice is evident again and again in expert research. In fact, scientists have come up with something that they believe is the magic number for the real skill of this number: 10,000 hours of work.

The picture that emerges from this research is that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to reach a level of skill and become a world-class expert in anything. This number is repeatedly mentioned in a series of reviews of musicians, basketball players, fiction writers, ice skaters, music concert pianists, chess players, dangerous and shrewd criminals, and so on.

It seems that the brain needs this time to fully understand everything it needs to know how to achieve real skill.
