When I was learning instruments when I were a lad, back at school, the only reason I really progressed was because my Mum would be listening in all the time. She’d point out my mistakes to me, not because I didn’t know I was making them, but to make sure I didn’t deliberately ignore them for the sake of getting through the piece. So if you want to succeed with this challenge, make sure you’ve got people around who will ask you how it’s going every now and then, just to make sure you’re keeping to it!
