HAVE A ROUTINE- try to practice at around the same time and in the same place every time you practice. 2. PRACTICE IN A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT - Pick a place to practice where you ean hear yourself play and are not distracted by anyone else. This may be difficult, but not impossible to find. 3. HAVE ALL YOU NEED TO PRACTICE - Bring everything you need to practice to the practice room. Try and remember your books, a pencil, and of course .. . your HORN!!! 4, PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT PERFORMANCE - Though no one plays perfectly, itis the constant pursuit of perfection that makes them a good player. 5, HOWTO PRACTICE ~ Sight Reading . . first look at the music and determine the following. 'S- Sharps and Flats in the Key signature Does the piece have ANY notes that you need to look up? ‘T- Time signature and tempo of the piece How fast is the song? Does it change speed? How many beats in each A- Acsidentals Does the piece have any more sharps and flats or natural signs that are rot in the music? R- Rhythm ‘Are there any rhythms that repeal? Are there any hard rhythms? ‘what is the smallest beat in the musie? A sixteenth note is smaller than a quarter note. S-Signs.. Divided into to categories. Markings - Are there any dynamics, articulation markings, etc Signs ‘Are there any repeat signs? Is there a Coda? Where is the sign that you repeat back to? Where is the sign to take the Coda? 6. USEA PENCIL - to mark ANY information you know that you are not going to remember otherwise if you KEEP making the samme mistake, write that B FLAT in! 7. GOSLOWLY .... the best player in the world has to practice, NO ONE is naturally talented at anything. Ifyou are not “getting it.” SLOW THE PIECE DOWN WITH A. CONSISTENT TEMPO THEN GRADUALLY SPEED IT UP, This could take an hour for even days sometimes. 8. LASTLY, HAVE FUN... BUT PRACTICE SMARTHI!Warm Up 1.0 Get your starting note atthe bottom, find it on P. circle, and go around clockwise. Gb/F# Starting note for...
