Kim's Practice Tips for Students Learning a Musical Instrument in Frederick, MD include:

1. Aim for 4 to 6 days of practice EVERY week. Consistency is key.

2. Whatever you do, make sure you practice right after your lesson AND the following day - retention will be 90%!

3. When practicing, aim for 3 times in a row flawlesslessly. For longer and more challenging pieces, be sure you are practicing in small sections.

4. Have fun - look at practicing as an opportunity! Who knows, maybe you’ll get out of doing the dishes if you practice after dinner….

5. Don’t set a timer - aim for purposeful repetitions rather than time.
