How to Practise

A thirty-minute practice session mapped out by minutes, six ways to fix a passage, the loop that makes a fix stick, and honest use of a metronome.

What's inside

• A thirty-minute session mapped out by minutes — warm up, technique, hard passages, run, note to self
• Six ways to fix a passage — slow it down, shrink the unit, hands apart, rhythm swap, backwards chaining, away from the instrument — with how and when to use each
• The five-step loop that makes a fix stick, from naming the problem in words to writing down what you fixed
• Honest metronome use, plus signs you are wasting time and why slow is not the same as careful
