Mrs. Twigg's way to practice correctly... (If you practice like this EVERY time, you WILL be able to play it!)
- Clap the rhythm / shadow bow and count the beats
- Clap the rhythm/shadow bow and say the note names
- Say the note names and finger the notes/shadow bow on your instrument
- Air play/Finger the notes/shadow bow on your instrument (with music)
- Play the exercise/piece (with music)
(Brass players - trumpet, trombone, baritone & tuba - should be doing buzzing exercises EVERY day!)
Please take a look at SmartMusic. I use this every day in their lessons and I hope you will consider downloading it for your child to use at home when they practice. It helps students assess themselves instantly and makes practice fun!
