Practice Chart – Grove Junior High – August-September 2017

Practice Strategies (what to do in a 20 minute practice session):

·  Start with your scales. (5 minutes)

·  Next, work on something that is tricky for you. Practice measure by measure, section by section (10 minutes). Use a metronome to work tricky passages up to speed.

·  End with something you enjoy! (5 minutes)
