Practice Routines
Greetings, Orchestra,
Given the current global circumstances, keeping a strong daily routine is important to continue to grow and develop. This is particularly important with practicing music.
Much like in athletics, a steady routine of warming up, goal-setting, and skill building will turn you into a much better musician in a faster amount of time.
A goal of 30 minutes of practice per day is totally reasonable--and achievable--at your age and ability. A practice routine could look something like:
Concert Orchestra
Tune/Daily Warm-Ups (5 minutes)
Scales (5 minutes)
Essential Technique Book (10 minutes)
Concert Music (10 minutes)
Philharmonic
Tune (1-2 minutes)
Habits Book (18 minutes)
I. Tone and Articulation Exercise
II. Finger Pattern Exercise
IV. Scales and Arpeggios
Concert Music (10 minutes)
Staying on a steady routine will keep you engaged with learning, and help the time go by. Who knows...maybe you'll even have fun :)
Happy practicing, and stay healthy!
