As a teacher one of the main struggles I have is getting students to understand the importance of practicing. Here are some tips on how to make the most out of your practice sessions. 1. Be Prepared Take inspiration from the Boy Scouts and have everything you need ready to go at all times. This way, whenever you have a few spare minutes, you’ll be able to get straight into your practice. 2. Create Practice Triggers In theory, practicing at the same time everyday sounds like a good plan, but in reality it can be difficult to implement. People are busy, schedules vary, and some of us are not morning people! So instead of trying to set a regular time for practice, use an activity that you already do everyday (like brushing your teeth or watching a favourite TV show) as a prompt for practice. 3. Hold Yourself Accountable Share your daily practice goal with at least one person who will be interested to hear your progress. The positive pressure of having someone counting on you to achieve results means you’re more likely to do the work! 4. Challenge Yourself Working towards goals can give your music practice some direction and keep you motivated. Find (or create!) a goal, project or challenge that interests you. 5. Stay Inspired What motivated you to take music lessons in the first place? Was it as a form of creative expression, to master a new skill, or just to have fun and do something you love? If you’ve forgotten your why, or just need a new burst of creativity, there is so much inspiration to be found! #practicing #instrument #pianio #putintheworkgettheresults #practicepracticepractice #musician #music #singer #artist #songwriter #musicians #producer #instamusic #newmusic #livemusic #follow #singersongwriter #musicislife #viral #girlboss #harmonyentertainment242 #bandlife #livemusic #musicislife #Bahamas🇧🇸 https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHjWo7lhCo/?utm_medium=tumblr
