Practice tips and Materials

Please feel free to print and use the files below for your practice time.

It is expected that you will practice a minimum of 15-30 minutes 3 to 4 days a week for a minimum time of 90 minutes per week.

Make sure to implement the methods we use in class.

• • ALWAYS WARM UP AND TUNE BEFORE PRACTICING

    • • • The free tuning app I use is called PANO Tuner

  • Slow careful practice

  • Break pieces down into smaller sections (Chunking)

  • Use a metronome to slowly speed up your practice

    • • There is a free metronome in google https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=metronome&meta=

      • Download my practice tracker sheet below to keep track. Remember, 5 times each Metronome marking then move it up

  • Use a tuner to check if notes are in tune while playing.
