Be Quick - But Don't Hurry
Author: Andrew Hill
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743224213
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Be Quick, But Don't Hurry presents the team-building management secrets of the greatest coach of the twentieth century, cloaked in the heartwarming tale of the reluctant protege who learned those secrets in spite of himself. Perhaps the least controversial sports honor in living memory was the selection of John Wooden as "Coach of the Century" by ESPN, honoring his ten NCAA basketball championships in a twelve-year stretch. His UCLA teams won with great centers and with small lineups, with superstars and with team effort, always with quickness, always with class. Wooden was a teacher first and foremost, and his lessons -- taught on the basketball court, but applicable throughout one's life -- are summarized in his famed Pyramid of Success. Andrew Hill was one of the lucky young men who got to learn from Wooden in his favored classroom -- though that is hardly how Hill would have described it at the time. An all-city high school player in Los Angeles, Hill played -- a little -- on three national champions, from 1970 to 1972. Hill was left embittered by his experience at UCLA; he was upset at how unequally Wooden treated his starting players and his substitutes. Hill went on to a successful career in television, rising to the presidency of CBS Productions, where he was responsible for the success of such popular series as Touched by an Angel and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Hill's job required him to manage many creative people, with the egos and insecurities that usually go along with such talents. And one day, some twenty-five years after he graduated, he was hit with the realization that everything he knew about getting the best out of people he had learned directly from Coach John Wooden. With no small trepidation, Hill picked up the phone to call and thank his old coach and unexpected mentor. To his surprise, Wooden greeted him warmly and enthusiastically. A strong friendship, sealed in frequent visits and conversations, ensued, and endures. Be Quick -- But Don't Hurry! tells the story of that friendship. But it also shares the lessons and secrets that Hill learned from Coach Wooden, which hold the key to managing creatively in the idea-driven economy of the twenty-first century. Among those lessons are: -The team with the best players almost always wins -Be quick, but don't hurry: there is never enough time to be sure (and if you are sure, you're probably too late), but you must always keep your balance -Failing to prepare is preparing to fail -The team that makes the most mistakes...wins! Full of sound advice and warm reminiscence, Be Quick -- But Don't Hurry! is the management book of a lifetime.

Here's a video of me playing all 12 major scales: http: //youtu.be/Ow6BacGiKwQ I used this exact method to get my scales fast and smooth. How does this work? Think back to school when you had to learn a long list of vocabulary words. The first time you learned them, you probably just repeated them over and over and over, and it took forever. Then eventually you figured out strategies to learn them faster. You used flashcards, or acronyms, or flowcharts, and you realized words that used to take you 4 hours to learn you could learn in 15 minutes! It's the same way with piano! If you have the right strategies, you can learn scales realllllly fast and: -Captivate Audiences -Boost Your Technique -Surprise Your Teacher -Feel "At Home" On The Keyboard There are also physical techniques that help you play faster. For example, the thumb-under section of the scale causes problems for a lot of people. The Quick-Thumb strategy in this book is specifically designed to overcome this problem. We'll also go over correct form, using the Over-Under wrist motion. If you aren't already using the Over-Under motion, you'll see immediate results in not only your scales but everything else you play. You'll become a "Piano Superhuman" and: -Cut Down Your Practice Time -Or... Practice More And 2x Your Results -Master The Tricky "Thumb Under" Move -Memorize Scales - Fast -Eliminate the "Stuck" Feeling This book will give you a simple, step-by-step training plan on exactly what to do every day to learn your scales. You'll start out with specific exercises in Phase 1, then move onto intermediate exercises in Phase 2, then finally advanced exercises in Phase 3. These phases give you a complete progression on how to learn piano scales fast, without frustration and anxiety. Why should you learn from me? I do have a degree in Music from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I don't think that's a good reason to learn from me. The only true test of a musician is how well they can play. If at any time you want to see what I'm capable on piano, you can listen to me on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/keystroke3 I also have a passion for teaching piano, if you want to see the some of my lessons, you can go to my website: www.bestpianotips.com Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... -The 3 Phases of Scale Development and What Phase You're In -the Quick-Thumb Technique to get a Smooth Thumb Under Transition -How To Develop a "Challenge Attitude" to Make Learning Scales Exciting -How Learning Scales Leads to a Technique Boost That Benifits Everything Else You Play -How to Use the Added Note Strategy for Rapid Scale Memorization -the Optimum Daily Practice Routine, Laid Out Step-by-Step -The 3 Golden Rules to Efficient Piano Practice -Using a Metronome the Right Way to Quickly Speed Up Your Scales From Slow to Fast -Much, much more!
