A note on home practice.....
The more practice you can do between lessons the more you will progress in your music playing - your fingers and brain will know what to do and pieces that once seemed difficult will become a breeze!!!!
- Check your lesson notes for what to play.
- Try to find a regular time that suits you.
- Ask a family member to listen or play with you.
- Explore new music and ideas.
- Have fun!!
