What do karate, music, ballet, football, billiards, and every other human activity in which people strive for perfection have in common? -They all have certain basic moves that you practice every day so that they can be performed without thinking. People who don't master those moves don't even learn the basic vocabulary of their game and are consequently at a serious disadvantage. The satisfaction you will get from mastering your instrument is worth the few minutes of hard work each day that your Sensei is demanding. Trust me. Trust him.
