A model of individual continuous improvement based on lifelong learning processes and practices may provide a pathway to deeper, more meaningful experiences. Such a model could offer a method for individuals to strengthen their own sense of purpose and meaning through their chosen lifelong learning processes and practices. This paper explored continuous improvement as a vehicle for profound, lifelong learning and suggested music educators as a potential population of profound learners to further explore a model of individual continuous improvement.
