This session demystifies practice by giving students clear, actionable strategies to take home. We’ll explore warm-up routines, chunking, goal setting, mindful repetition, and how to troubleshoot tricky passages without getting stuck.

Using demonstration, guided breakout work, and discussion, we help students connect their practice goals with their musical aspirations. Especially helpful for young musicians balancing school, orchestra, and private lessons.

Learning Objectives:

• Break down musical challenges into smaller steps
• Use practice journals or prompts to increase engagement
• Build routines that are sustainable and rewarding

Age Range: 11–17
