Sometimes it is very hard to even think about opening your case. When we have to practice, all kind of human necessities show up. We have to go to the bathroom, we are hungry, tired, in pain, just about everything. Once we start everything turns smoother and sometimes you will feel like you want even more and more. But the truth is that if we don't practice we are not going to be better musicians. We have to follow a daily plan and a smart routine. If you want to become a great artist you have to work incredibly hard, but I’ll promise you that all your efforts are going to be worth it. Start by creating a routine for every day and some objectives. If you don't feel like practicing one day you are going to promise that you will force yourself to start with scales and keep going with the rest of your repertoire. No successful person is known by working when he/she feels like, they are all known by taking action at the moment. This is going to be intensive and well planned. I propose you start by setting up your long and short term goals.
This is a list of some of the things that I believe it could improve your practice time
Things to do before practice:
- Eat well
- Take a nap
- Go to the bathroom
- Drink something
- Listen to a recording of what you are about to play
- Read the biography of the composer
- Make sure your instrument is ready to go!
