The Practice Method

I use this method myself in my own daily practice. You can use it to learn how to play almost anything!

  1. Take a small section (2-4 notes).
  2. Play it 1x, 2x, 3x perfect.
  3. Take another small section.
  4. Play it 1x, 2x, 3x perfect.
  5. Combine the prior sections, play 1x, 2x, 3x perfect.
  6. Repeat as necessary.

A few notes:

  • Work smaller sections than you want to. Make it manageable and avoid mistakes.
  • Perfection is the key. If you make a mistake working on playing it 3x, go back to 2x. If you err on 2x, go back to 1x. If you make a mistake playing it 1x, choose a smaller section.
