I studied classical percussion for ten years.
I studied classical percussion for ten years. At one point I was thinking about going to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, but then I realized it's actually not what I wanted to do.
I grew up playing classical piano and percussion.
I studied dance for about 15 years, various disciplines, with classical ballet as my primary.
In fact although I have studied in a Conservatory the classical piano, I do not consider myself a classical pianist.
I read and write classical piano and percussion, also guitar.
Ten years dropped from a man's life are no small loss; ten years of manhood, of household happiness and care; ten years of honest labor, of conscious enjoyment of sunshine and outdoor beauty; ten years of grateful life--one day looking forward to all this; the next, waking to find them passed, and a blank.
When I was nine years old, I started playing guitar, and I took classical guitar lessons and studied music theory. And played jazz for a while. And then when I was around fourteen years old, I discovered punk rock. And so I then tried to unlearn everything I had learned in classical music and jazz so I could play in punk rock bands.
After attending the gymnasium between my eighth and seventeenth years, I studied classical philology at Berlin University for two years under Boeckh and Lachmann, and with the friendly support of Emanuel Geibel and Franz Kugler, I dabbled in all sorts of poetry.
I studied classical music for a long time, maybe 10 years, and I realized finally I was never going to have the hands to play that stuff.
We have at most ten years—not ten years to decide upon action, but ten years to alter fundamentally the trajectory of global greenhouse emissions.
I studied percussion as a music student, and I didn't have the best of timing, so I could never make it as a professional, unfortunately.
I dabble in all kinds of spirituality. I studied Kabbalah for over ten years, and you know it's all basically the same.
I spent ten years playing classical piano, and that was what led to keyboards and eventually to production and to Linkin Park.
Percussion is the most adaptable family of instruments. The biggest challenge is to project percussion in a lyrical way.
To become a chess grandmaster also seems to take about ten years. (Only the legendary Bobby Fisher got to that elite level in less than that amount of time: it took him nine years.) And what's ten years? Well, it's roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.
Parents who want a fresh point of view on their furniture are advised to drop down on all fours and accompany the nine or ten month old on his rounds. It is probably many years since you last studied the underside of a dining room chair. The ten month old will study this marvel with as much concentration and reverence as a tourist in the Cathedral of Chartres.
