Introducing: The Practice Diary

In the Practice Diary, simply follow these steps:

1. Create a new thread via the "What do you practice?" button the right!
2. Tell us what you practice, why you want to play it and what you are currently struggling with, we are here to motivate and inspire each other to grow! 
3. Share a video , an audio file or simply a description of the current state of that piece!
4. Repeat those following steps after a few days of practice by replying in your own thread aka your personal diary and let us be part of your journey!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I join the challenge if I wasn't there on Nov 2nd?

Yes! Just make sure you keep practicing every day and updating us at least twice a week.

Do I have to participate if I just want to watch the concert?

No, a concert also needs an audience! While we invite you to use our newly created Practice Diaries, you don't have to perform in the tonebase Community Concert to watch it!

I have a question, who do I ask?

Feel free to use this thread to ask any questions you might have about this challenge! If you would prefer to ask something in a more confidential setting, please use my email: [email protected]

Can I do more than one piece for the Concert?

Absolutely! As always, this challenge is for you - do with it what you wish. As long as you 1) practice every day; 2) keep track of your progress; 3) share your progress with others - you are fully participating! Of course I won't be mad if this is too easy for you ;)
