Music Practice - Getting your students to do the magic amount

By kevin | May 26, 2008

Just a quick post today to let you know about a great article on My colleauge Jim McCarthy’s Drum Clinic Blog.

Jim has done a great post on The Science of Practicing a Musical Instrument - How much and how often, and has worked out the amount that you need to do to get into the subconcious area of the brain.

This is a great topic for discussion - and of interest to all music teachers, wether you teach percussion or any other instrument.

One of my favourite topics is inspiring and motivating students to practice, and this idea of scientifically demonstrating to students that their retention and improvement will exponentially improve with consistent practice is a great one!
