I have always found the same thing to happen, John.

Immersion and practicing are a good thing, but taking breaks from it and waiting for things to sink into the subconcious level, plus waiting until the passion and hunger to perform them come into play can be a very good thing. Actually, I have found that intentionally scheduling the learning of new things in this fashion, inclusive of putting it away for a period of time can actually allow me to incorporate the new thing in less time.

Einstein was a terrible fiddle player, he said that he played his fiddle to occupy his concious mind while his subconcious mind worked on the problems he was trying to solve.

In my case, I'm no Einstein, but I have found that putting away the music and working on something else that occupies most or all of the concious side of the brain does indeed leave the subconcious working away on that music related problem.

Expect breakthroughs.
