To communicate a performance well you must learn the music accurately. Developing an effective routine of practice, revision and self-reflection helps ensure a confident and convincing performance
It is important to recognise the progress you are making.
Reading back your practice log is as important as writing it. Take time to regularly look at what you have been working on for the past four weeks. Be honest in your evaluation of:
what has improved
what has stayed the same
Looking back like this can help you keep on track and get you ready for your target performance. It is a good way to confirm that you are making improvements and this can help build your confidence.
