Learning something like playing music, dancing, and many other things, is a process of becoming conscious of things, then learning to do the same things unconsciously (muscle memory), then becoming conscious of how you're not doing them right and correcting that, then again going back to doing those things unconsciously, lather, rinse, repeat until expert, then do it again.
