Tips For Daily Practice

1. Practice in the same place each day. Be sure there are no distractions (TV, cell phone, etc).

2. Begin with long tones. Concentrate on producing a pleasing sound. Think about your breathing and
use a mirror to check embouchure, hand position, and posture.

3. Spend time on scales everyday. Play them 3x slowly, so that there are no mistakes. Then speed them
up.

4. Practice your music. Work on parts you cannot play. Practice them slowly at first and then increase
the speed. Work one measure at a time. Once you are able to play the difficult measure(s) five times
without mistakes, then you can move on or increase the tempo.

5. Pay careful attention to details: correct notes and fingerings, rhythms, key signatures and accidentals,
signs and symbols, dynamics, and articulations.
