This project started out of my frustration in seeing inconsistent practicing in my students. I want them all to be successful in all their violin endeavors, and consistent, focused practicing is necessary for that! I've tried to design a project that starts with you exactly where you are. It doesn't ask you to swear to practice for 100 days no matter what, or to instantly start practicing double what you're used to. Throughout the project, there are guided reflection questions that help you customize this experience to your personality and your practice.
To make things easier to read, I'm going to break things up into a few different blog posts so you're not stuck reading one gigantic blog.
So, why should you listen to me? You can read my bio for all my professional credentials, but more relevant to this project is that I am someone who loves to play violin and to teach other people to play violin and who has had many different practice experiences over the years. I have had days where it felt like everything was going my way and I was making tons of progress, and I have had days where I wanted to just put the violin away and not look at it again. I've done a lot of reading about different practice methods, and I've also spent a lot of time talking to people about how they practice.
I have done every single of the practice methods that I'm suggesting. I'm also going to be doing this 28 Days of Practice for myself, and I will be posting my own answers to all the questions. How's that for accountability - the entire Internet will know how I'm practicing.
Go to my blog post The Art of Practicing to review the rules, and we'll get started!
