Free leasons

When I first got my Sarode from India, and wanted to tune and play it, I found that there were people around where ever I was, who would teach me for free. Well at least not paying directly.
Even travelling to India and living with Dr Moni Das in Delhi, who, had two young daughters and depended on the handouts from benefactors, never asked for money.
It's not that charging a fair price for leasons is bad, it's that so many people were willing to give their knowledge so freely. As a consequence of that I never charge when I give leasons, but like my teachers, I expect my students to practice.
This is the sign of respect and worthiness, and that is usually enough. Start with 20 minutes a day, then practice should be 1 hour per day. If you want to really exell, then 2 to 3 hours per day will increase your abilities quite quickly. If you are in the position to practice up to 6 hours a day and practice the correct things. You would be amazed at how much proficiency can be gained in one year.
Remember 10,000 hours is what you need, that's 8 hours a day for 5 years, just like a trade apprenticeship.
