Practice, Review, What to Practice • February 1, 2019
Your teacher assigned you review songs and they probably mentioned something particular to do or think about during review pieces, and then you get home. Now what? And why are we dwelling on things we already learned?
I promise it’s not just a waste of time. Review can be powerful if you use it effectively. How?
I feel like most teachers that utilize review tactics could write a book on this subject alone, so I will leave you with one last thought: review because your teacher asked you to. Sometimes we can let you in on our secret plans to make things magically work (or work better), but other days we run out of time to share that information. So give it a shot, and if you have questions about your assigned review, bring them to the next lesson!
