28 Days of Practice: Week 1 Reflections

11/1/2013

This week, I asked everyone to track their practicing and to create a practice space in their home. I'm sharing with you some of my answers and practice strategies from the past week, and then we have some reflection questions to evaluate the week!

To the left you see my answers to the initial questionnaire.

My practice space, complete with mirror, metronome, camera, violin, and music.

I set the phone to airplane mode so I wouldn't be distracted.

I used to be in the habit of planning out my practice and it was really refreshing for me to get back to that. I felt like my practice was so much more structured. Here's a snapshot of my practice journal from last week.

End of Week 1 Reflection:
1. Do you feel you improved as a musician this week? How so?

2. What are some aspects of your playing that you would like to improve more?

3. What do you like about your practice space? Is there anything you need to add to it?

4. How many days did you practice?

5. Do you feel you practiced enough to accomplish your goals?

And finally, my own answers to the reflection questions.
Stay tuned for Week 2, launching tomorrow!
