I can’t relate to this at all. In music, you practice until you get it, and then you stop. It’s important not to over-practice, in fact. In high school math classes, I was assigned an order of magnitude more practice problems than I actually needed. There was no “practice until you get it, then quit.” It was “do all the problems whether you understand them or not, or you get a bad grade.” Repetition is absolutely anathema when you’ve ceased to learn anything from it.
