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.

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.
