If you’ve been frustrated with your clarinet progress, this episode will change everything.
The problem isn’t that you’re not talented enough. The problem isn’t that you don’t practice enough. The problem is your environment.
In this episode, I break down the exact framework for designing an internal environment where improvement becomes inevitable, not aspirational.
You’ll discover: – Why discipline and willpower-based practice always fails (and what actually works) – The Three Rooms Strategy for strategic musical growth – How your confidence shifts based on proximity (and how to stabilize it) – The exact four areas that determine your progress – How to protect your mental environment from comparison traps – Why you’re the same musician in every room This isn’t about practicing more hours. It’s about designing the right environment where drive flourishes naturally.
