Resuming Practicing After Not Practicing For Awhile

 


 
 Whether you and/or your child continue practicing your instrument over many years, there will be times where there will simply be no practice time.  Some life event or other priority may snatch your time to make music everyday but that's no reason to stop playing!

Steps For Resuming Practicing

  •  Start your practice session with 5 minutes of practice
  •  Take a 30 minute break, then practice for 5 more minutes
  •   During the 5 minute sessions, play slowly and thoughtfully
  •  Repeat the 30 minute break, then practice for 5 more minutes
  •  Continue pattern joyfully as long as possible
  •  Enjoy increasing practice time over the next few weeks
