Steps to Successful Practicing
- Take your instrument home!
- Identify ahead of time what you want to accomplish. Is there a certain measure of 2 that need correction? Need to work on straight bow, good tone or vibrato?
- Schedule a block of time, even if it's only 10 minutes. Set a timer.
- Focus on what you planned to accomplish. Don't get side-tracked playing a different section or straight through the piece.
- Record yourself and listen. Mark the items you hear that you still want to improve.
- Encourage and allow someone to hold you accountable for this. A parent/guardian, sibling, friend etc.
