It is the expectation that all students practice at least 15-20 minutes a day in order to show growth and improvement.
Helpful Hints for Successful Practice
(Please refer to the “How to Practice” student handout in the musician’s binders.)
1. Determine your goals by asking questions of yourself, such as: Are there any notes that are in a difficult range? Are there rhythms with which I am having trouble?
2. Plan the order of your practice session. (Breathing/Long Tones/Scales/Rhythms/Book Work/Concert Music)
3. Practice a small section of the music at a time.
4. Practice difficult sections slowly.
5. Use a metronome.
6. Record some of your sessions and listen to the recording. Listen to what you did well and what needs improvement.
7. Save your favorite music selection for the end of the session.
8. Determine what improved, what didn’t and why.
9. Spread your sessions throughout the week; don’t cram a week’s worth of practice into one or two sessions.
