Beethoven said that it's better to hit the wrong note confidently, than hit the right note unconfidently. Never be afraid to be wrong or to embarrass yourself; we are all students in this life, and there is always something more to learn.

About This Quote

Beethoven always said that it's better to hit the wrong note confidently, than hit the right note unconfidently. Never be afraid to be wrong or to embarrass yourself; we are all students in this life, and there is always something more to learn. Beethoven has always been one of my heroes. He was a very humble man who believed in the power of music and thought that anyone could learn an instrument and compose great music if they would just practice. He always encouraged others to stick with their goals no matter how difficult they may seem.
