Week 1: How to practice when there's no time ⏲

Welcome to Week one of "Change your Habits, Change your Playing" with Phil Goldenberg! This is the thread for posting your submissions and assignments for the first week!

Watch Phil's Livestream on June 7th here!

Assignment:

Pick a challenging 20-30 second spot in your repertoire. Play it once or twice, then record it. Then, practice that section in a hyper-focused matter for exactly 3 minutes, then record it again and check out the improvement! Feel free to see everyone else's improvement and see if you can tell what they worked on for those 3 minutes.

    Chopin Op. 24.1 meas 45 

    I have difficulty with the 'C' section in this Mazurka. I have picked the most challenging measure to work on next (Piazzolla is still ongoing). This measure has a trill and concludes with a shift that is difficult to maintain the rhythm (for me). My recording level on the 'post' video is a little too high so the sound  is a bit harsh.

    • Jack Stewart Definitely can see improvement.  As Phil would say, slow it down and I am sure it will come perfectly together.  A very lovely piece!

    Piazzolla Otono m 23 

    This is the next installment of this measure in Otono Porteno. Seems a bit better but it is a long haul.

    The next installment on this measure in this Chopin Mazurka. 

    I feel there is some improvement here.

  • Sor's Andante Largo measures 21a and 33 (update June 13)

    Here is measure 21a at sixteenth-note = 96, and measure 33 at sixteenth-note = 116.

      Eric Phillips You've nailed it  Eric.

      I think these exercises are great for improving difficult spots but leave a lot to be desired from a listener's perspective.

      I hope you provide us a video with the measures 'installed'.
