“The 12 Rules of Practicing”

1. Seek out private instruction: It could take years to figure out what a good
teacher could show you quickly.
2. Write out a schedule: Include fundamentals always.
3. Set goals: Chart your development. Challenge yourself.
4. Concentrate: Develop the ability to FOCUS. Do not “just go through the
motions.” If you can't concentrate, stop and come back later.
5. Relax: Practice Slowly. Play it a slow tempo, then increase the tempo each
day.
6. Practice Hard Parts Longer: Confront your deficiencies.
7. Play with Expression: Give yourself over to what you are doing. Do
everything
with the proper attitude. Do not be a cynic. The expression you play with is
your
style.
8. Learn from Your Mistakes: Do not be too hard on yourself. If you make a
mistake, it's not the end of the world.
9. Don’t Show Off: Expression, not tricks or gimmicks. Showing off misses
the
point of group playing. Always play music. Those who play for applause,
that's all
they get.
10. Think for Yourself: Respect your teacher, but think things through for
yourself. Methods are just a way to do things. You may think of better ways.
11. Be Optimistic: How you feel about living in the world is who you are.
There's
nothing worse than pessimism coming through your instrument. Things will
get
better.
12. Look for Connections: The more you discover similarities in things that
seem
to be different, the greater the world you can participate in. No matter what
you're doing, everything is connected.
