How to Practice Episode 9: Don't Forget the Pencil!!

How's it going guys? I hope my newest attempt at a meme was to your liking. If you want the link to it then click here. But as it says, we need to cover one of the biggest mistakes made by young musicians (including myself on numerous occasions), which is forgetting your pencil before you practice! It might seem like a waste of time to grab a pencil before you practice but in fact it is probably one of the best things to do when it comes to rehearsing.

The biggest mistake people take when it comes to practicing music is the lack of preparedness. It might come to a shock for some of you, but there is a large amount of thought that goes into preparing to practice. The first point one should realize is they won't remember every change they've made or the director has told us to make. We couldn't ever remember every change that's needed in music, unless someone's trained themselves to do that but that's not a very good idea to do. You can forget what changes you have made and wind up playing the piece wrong. Along with that, why would someone want to stress out more than you need to?
