You might have noticed that I've been updating the blog less frequently. It's because I started a new job on March 1st! I'm trying to adjust to my schedule and find a good balance between work vs. free time. Speaking of "time," when was the last time you worked on your time? If it's been a while, I got something for you!
Today, I'm excited to share "Test of Time Challenge" 🥳 (You can download the PDF via the link below)
Download the Challenge
No matter what instrument you play or sing, I hope you can agree that having a "good time" is essential to becoming a high-level musician. In most concerts, we don't get to play with a metronome. Whether you are taking an audition, playing a solo piece, chamber music, or an orchestra, "good time" has to come from within.
That's exactly why I made this challenge!
This challenge will help you to:
practice keeping time even through rests
develop confident and accurate internal pulse
focus on making your time better without worrying about pitches
form a great habit to practice time with a metronome
*Instruction on how to practice is on the sheet music PDF
As always, please feel free to contact me with any comments, requests, or questions by replying to this email. It’s my goal to make this newsletter as useful to you as possible!
Here is an inspirational quote of the day 💫
"The heart of music is its rhythm. The heart of rhythm section music is the rhythm." - Wynton Marsalis
Have a wonderful week & Happy Practicing!
