Music Lessons: Tenacity and Diligence

This episode of WMM2M is one in a series of episodes I call “Music Lessons.” Aside from the obvious joy and aesthetic pleasure that comes from producing music, and the way music augments intellectual development (often called the “Mozart Effect”) music additionally teaches valuable life lessons to those who formally study it. Stick with studying an instrument and years later you will have learned far more than how to perform some songs. In the “Music Lessons” series I will share some of the lessons music has taught me which, looking back over the years, I appreciate so much. In this installment of my Music Lessons series we look at two very closely-related traits that music teaches: Tenacity and Diligence.
