That'd take too long. I do some shortcuts here and there. ;p And I vary practice times day-to-day depending on circumstances. Some days are shorter and some longer. I don't expect too much bc he's still so young and work on small victories as goals. Just started violin for 3mths awhile after he turned 3yrs old.Karmeleonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741439957163979032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468439890002165895.post-57625363409633701482012-01-28T23:59:38.952-06:002012-01-28T23:59:38.952-06:00This student started about age 2.5 years.

After going through the "beginner" phase of getting mom and student on a regular routine, what I talked about here is where we are now. This interview was recorded yesterday.

Here I advocate a minimum amount of practice time. Wouldn't it be great is everyone practiced beyond a minimum?Paula E.

I don't always do ALL the components everyday bc otherwise it might take too long . I manage his practice sessions by deciding how best to work on improvements within the least amount of time.Karmeleonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741439957163979032noreply@blogger.com
