The Best Way to Learn

Last spring, I walked into my friend and fiddle player David Mosher’s house. Two random triangular, three-stringed instruments were sitting on a table.

“What are these, David?” I asked.

“Oh! Those are The balalaikas! Russian instruments from the 1800s,” he said. “I just got them for a Wild Swan performance this month.”

“Do you know how to play them?” I asked.

“I will before the performance,” he said, nonchalantly.

It reminded me: The best way to learn, is to give yourself a project.
