Learn to organize your practice time so that you improve your playing systematically. As students, we bring a ton of information home from camps, lessons, and online classes but sometimes are overwhelmed by it all and don’t know how to integrate it into our practicing. In this workshop we will discuss the tangible and intangible tools for good practice as well as learn how to schedule “manageable bites” of music to learn in manageable time frames.
