PRACTICE TIPS 💡
PRACTICE TIPS 💡
1. A WARM-UP is essential to get your muscles moving and to mentally prepare you for playing.
2. HAVE A GOAL before you start your practice session. It could be as tiny as 1 or 2 bars or something that you feel you would like to accomplish.
3. ALWAYS play slowly and break down your music by identifying problems. It might be helpful to read the notes or clap the rhythms first before playing.
4. RECORD YOURSELF for fun so you can listen back to your performance. You can set future goals once you have listened to your recording.
5. REWARD YOURSELF: play through your music at the end of your practice session with the tracks below.
