Practice Strategies

‘Drive By’
Learning Strategy
October MasterClass Practice Protocol
‘Space Out’ Practice Process
Space out practice over the day instead of in one block of time.
“Forgetting and then relearning a piece overtime
strengthens your memory bank.”
*Select a ‘hard spot’ or four-eight measures for memory work.
*Open your music and place it on the music stand ready
for your “Drive-By”.
“DRIVE-BY” or stop and practice before dinner;
then “drive-by” again after dinner.
Run through a couple of assignments before school
and see what is remembered after school.
