Hi Everyone,

It’s that time of the year when many of you will be taking a break from regular lessons. However, I still want you to keep up a fairly regular practice regime. OK  it is actually good to have a break  for a little while and have some “time off” fun so you come into the new year refreshed.

But think about setting up your practice session now.

Relaxed practice over the holiday break

A great idea is to set up a practice session regime for the year ahead and try to stick to it. It must encompass all elements, so look at dividing it into segments. I like to use this timing.

25% warm up with scales, arpeggios, drills and set exercises.

50% music piece/song practice.

25% free play, just have fun playing what you like, or writing you own music or checking out a  YouTube guitar site.

If you are thinking of doing exams  this year (JUNE) you need to get into the practice groove now, which will make covering the material for the exam a breeze.

Back to my practice
