Why Keep a
Practice Workbook?

Taking notes helps illuminate our progress. We all need motivation to practice. Every day we take a little step forward, and we need reminders that we're improving.

 

Even a few scribbled notes can help in many ways:

 

  • Write down trouble spots so you go straight to them next time.

  • Start each day's practice right where you left off.

  • Track the incremental gains that you make each day.

  • Record work on your short- and long-term goals.

  • Look back to remind yourself of favorite tunes and practice ideas.

  • The action of writing helps with memory retention.
