What page are you on where it’s not working?

jason kleinberg started the topic Practice journal Feb. 5 in the forum Share Your Practice 3 months ago
Time: about 90m
What I did:
-New melody in G Major pentatonic
-“Blues-Grass”. version of Don’t Cry To Me
-Do you realize song
What went well:
Good arranging ideas for 2 tunes. Lots of wandering but I recorded it so I can reference it later.
Could use improvement:
Singing technique…getting hoarse…maybe because I’m practicing late. -

Good job getting “Lisa” out there, Steve.It is certainly one of the hardest, yet beneficial, parts of the practice routine. Hope you’re enjoying playing your fiddle.

Thank-you for reminding me, time to reflect and look towards next year! Since I started Feb. 7, ’22, I’ve only missed 2 days of practice, so I will also _aim to Play Every Day in 2024_ 🙂 My _2nd goal is to Practice Wisely_. In 2023, I tried to incorporate some Brainjo Principles into my practice, mainly that of “work” for ~ 30 min and then allow your brain to catch-up for ~4 hrs (so 3 mini sessions per day). I like to practice 1 – 2 hrs per day total, but for me, this seems to work better in 2 sessions of an hour-ish, so I’m going to work along those lines. For me, practice is some combo of Scales, Scales, Scales, Bowing, Bowing, Bowing (right hand rhythm development), finger independence exercises, playing 2 notes at the same time exercise, learning new techniques, reviewing songs that I know (this is fun time to me, especially with waltzes). I’m continuing to work towards playing at faster tempos (using an Atomic Habits approach). In 2024, I really need to work at learning by ear (I’m able to do this in your workshops because your pace suits me, but I need to do it quicker during jams). I will improve this area by committing to learning 1 song per week by ear. Happy New Year to you and your family Jason (thank-you for all that you do for us), and Happy New Year to all of you FiddleHeds 🙂🎻
