Short on time? Not sure what to practice? You don’t need more hours. You need a plan that actually works!

Ever feel like you’ve been playing for years without getting better? Like you’re stuck looping the same old songs and exercises, wondering why you’re spinning your wheels? You’re not alone. And it’s not your talent or dedication holding you back. Here’s the real problem: Everybody told you to practice, but nobody ever showed you how.

The good news? Practice the right things the right way, and you won’t just hope you’re improving—you’ll hear it.

Acclaimed music coach Luke Zecchin shows you how to make every practice minute count—no matter your age, instrument, or skill level. Armed with science-backed strategies and a lifetime of trial and error, he busts the biggest myths about getting better at music. You’ll discover why time and effort don’t guarantee progress (and what does!), why “muscle memory” has almost nothing to do with your muscles, and what the infamous “10,000-hour rule” gets completely wrong.

Encouraging, practical, and packed with surprising insights, How Practice Works is a must-have for every adult learner—whether you’re a total newbie, weekend warrior, or rocking retiree.
