PEDAGOGY CORNER: SETTING THE STAGE FOR PRODUCTIVE PRACTICE
2024
Overview
For success and retention, like any athlete, we must condition and prepare the mind and body for every practice session and rehearsal. SELECTING YOUR REED For the beginning of a practice session, particularly early in the day, I will choose a slightly softer reed until my muscles warm up, especially if my practice follows an intense performance or practice in the days prior. Here are a few I have enjoyed using in my practice: * Tonal Energy includes a chromatic tuner and a sounding pitch wheel, grid, or keyboard; tuning analysis during an activity; and a metronome with mixed meter and accent options * Tunable includes a chromatic tuner, a sounding pitch wheel or keyboard, metronome and recording function * Metronome+ includes an array of subdivisions, meters, and accents; a visual tuner; tone generator and sounding pitch; option to program measure looping * InsTuner is a chromatic tuner and tone generator * ForScore is a music reading app for iPad users that includes a visual and audio metronome and tuner * Nkoda, Piascore or Newsik are alternatives to ForScore * Mobile Sheets is a music reading app for Galaxy View 2 NO DISTRACTIONS Have you ever been in perfect practice flow, things are going great, and then the phone rings, you receive a notification or text, or someone knocks at the door? In discussing why the student felt this way, they mentioned feeling less self-conscious at home, knowing that no one is listening or would interrupt their practice session. In discussing solutions, some that came to mind were: considering different times to practice such as off peak hours-early in the day, finding rooms in a quieter area, using a large rehearsal room, covering the window so no one can see into the room-and a longer term goal of aiming to block out distractions during practice. * TIPS FOR CREATING A DISTRACTION-FREE ENVIRONMENT: * Turn all devices to \"do not disturb\" or \"airplane mode\" to not receive calls or notifications * Situate your chair so you cannot see any windows, particularly of a practice room door * If there is a window in your practice room, cover the window so no one can look in Put a \"Do not disturb\" note on the practice room door (college students: your colleagues will respect your wishes to have an interruption-free practice session) * Have a journal where you can write down thoughts during and following practice to keep focus; make an assignment for yourself, or a checklist of goals Minimizing distractions allows us to accomplish and retain more with the instrument.
