PracticeTips

1. Practice for quality results - NOT to fill up the time.
2. Practice to learn the music correctly.
3. Practice at the slowest tempo to play the music evenly - then speed it up.
4. Practice to become comforable/familiar with the music.
5. If you are having trouble with one spot, isolate that measure(s) and practice until it's correct.  Then put it with the rest of the piece.
6. Nobody can practice for you : )

These practice tips came from Nicole Thomas's band web site
