Practice Tips
How often should you practice?
"Only on days [you] eat," says Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, developer of the Suzuki Method for teaching children to play musical instruments.
Make practice part of your daily routine. If you make it a habit, there will be few exceptions to your schedule.
Do you know what the best time of day is to practice? You might not believe it, but it's first thing in the morning! Our neurons are firing, our brains are eager to be used and we've had a good night's sleep.
Just set your alarm clock a few minutes earlier than usual, go practice a few minutes and see for yourself. You'll get more done in less time, and you'll remember it longer.
Try it three times a week for two weeks and guess what? You've created a habit! A music habit!
