Ask Questions

Below is a series of questions you could ask yourself when practicing. You don't need to ask them all. Just pick a few that seem relevant to you. Listen to yourself closely - maybe even record yourself - and see what answers you get.

1. How steady and even can I make my tempo? 2. Am I playing this up to speed yet? 3. Can I connect my notes better, make it smoother? 4. Can I play all the way through without any mistakes? 5. Do I find the suggested fingering easy or is there a better way for me? 6. Am I standing or sitting correctly when I play? Is my posture correct? 7. Do I know the background for this tune so I can tell the story? 8. Am I enjoying myself?

Which question do you think is the most important?

If you have any questions, always feel free to ask Steve or myself.
