Kenny Werner's Learning Diamond

Kenny's Learning Diamond:

 

EffortlessMasteryDiamond

Note, that the top of the diamond says "Play Effortlessly". That's a constant along with any two of the other points.  More info on playing effortlessly here:

I highly recommend this book!!!!

Now, about the rest of that diamond:

Play Fast > Play the Entire Example (have to give up "Play Perfectly")

Play Perfectly > Play the Entire Example (give up "Play Fast"... in other words, play it as slowly as needed to not make mistakes).

Play Fast > Play Perfectly (perhaps give up playing it all the way through, work on a small portion until fluent/perfect).
