Tai Cheri

When I started to name this post, I was going to direct this post to the busy adult. But these days - with schools adding extra work now that they feel they are more confident in zoom learning and then the activities kids are in to help them stave off the separation that being in a pandemic has caused - Kids are just as busy. How do we get in practice despite? Well for one we need to think about what we are doing in all of the inbetween. Are we just sitting mindlessly at time

So I am always telling my students how important it is to practice. Even when we are professional musicians we have to keep working on our craft. It's like a muscle, if you don't use it, it goes limp and weak. I keep up my practicing but it was just sort of feeling routine. Practice for a lesson, practice scales, practice some old pieces, practice some new pieces...With no accountability each week, I realized I have to be my own instructor. Tell myself to work on this or that
