Setting Goals

To make practice time more efficient and productive, you need to set goals. At the end of each day's practice, write a plan for the next session. Make a list of problematic points to be addressed. This will help direct your attention to the areas that need work and add consistency to your practice.

It is a good idea to practice soon after your lesson, the same day if possible. Take note of the corrections and suggestions made by your teacher. You will have a better chance of remembering the corrections and avoid practicing errors over and over.
