1. What is "ignoring interference"?
When doing something, there is interference from outside, which may be a sound from people or objects, or a scene that appears in one's own eyes, but the parties can ignore it and continue to devote their energy to the ongoing things, which is ignoring interference.
For piano practice, ignoring interference means "turning a blind eye" and "turning a blind eye" to everything outside when practicing and performing works, and continuing to maintain the current practice state.
2. Why is it much more effective to "ignor interference" than to use willpower to resist interference from the beginning?
I mentioned a point in my previous article, that willpower is very "scarce" and is very easy to consume.
When we are practicing the piano, there is interference from the outside world. If we choose to use our willpower to "fight", the effect may not be good, and most of our energy, physical strength, and willpower will be consumed.
Because at this time, what the piano learner thought was: I want to sit still, I can’t pay attention to everything outside!
. The more I think this way, the more I focus my too much energy on the outside world and concentrate on "interference", so naturally I get distracted when practicing the piano.
ignores interference, which means directly "ignoring" interference, not even thinking about it, and does not give it a "opportunity" to enter the brain.
Because I don’t know that this thing exists at all, it will naturally not involve energy and cause distraction.
But the ability to "ignor" also needs to be trained. Don't be impatient, and don't complain or be discouraged when "ignoring" failure. Give yourself a process.
When practicing the ability to "ignor", at the beginning we will allocate some energy and attention to "interference". This is actually a "passive" process, that is, when interference occurs, the learner will be "automatically" attracted to it.
At this time, we need to use some willpower to "control" and try to "pull" ourselves back into practicing the piano. During this process, you also need to hint in your heart: as long as I can continue to practice effectively, and you don’t have to think about “interference” anymore.
gives yourself the room and time to "buffer", try to change it a little bit.
In this process, the consumption of willpower will gradually decrease until the willpower is no longer used.
You will gradually find that for some small degree of "interference", the piano learners can ignore it, and the stability and concentration of piano practice have also improved.
