Professionalism

A quote from a book about church music and those who create it, but I think it applies to any area of art/work/trade. Thought I’d share…

> “…the difference between an amateur and a professional is that a professional never stops learning. If by a professional we mean one who takes their craft seriously and who wants to push it as far as it can go, then we should learn all we can, whenever we can.
>
> Otherwise all we’ll ever be is amateurs, dabbling at the edges, and never seeing how far we can swim.
>
> The most fundamental thing in improving your technique is to listen to and learn from others you admire. Talk to other about their craft. Share ideas and inspiration. Examine their work and try to understand how they do it.”
