Re: standardization-dedication

My first reaction was to say that you are wrong, but thinking it about it a
bit more I realize I'm the one who is wrong, I think my prejudice was based
on years of biking, where the more you do, the faster you get until you
reach a plateau unless you put in more hours or better quality training.

But playing an instrument is different because you're always learning,
adding new tricks or just plain getting more musical.

I guess that means that people who stop playing an instrument stop because
they lose interest or just get interested in other things.

Thanks for correcting me, your view is much more appealing than mine.

Pierre.
