You practice and you get better. It's very simple.

When you're really working, really playing tennis, lifting weightss, playing basketball, or whatever it is - it happens in sports, it happens in music, it happens in everything - when you're fully consumed with the act, the witness just dissapears.

-Philip Glass 71, Composer
