Hi all,
Now that my charges have been sent off on the Easter holidays, I've managed to rack up a fair amount of practise time on the organ to learn some new rep for the next lot of concerts in my parish.
After a chat with a fellow musician, it occurred to me that teachers of all instruments spend very little time teaching students how to practise i.e. crack the difficult bits.
It would be interesting to hear some thoughts on this from players of all flavours and abilities.
i tend to find that time is of a premium and given that I have no piano in the house, I spend a fair bit of time with the score on my lap at home. Then it's over to the church to play on one of Willam Drakes mini masterpieces and/or over to the upright to crack some manual part without the distraction of the pedal. this works well most of the time, but i must admit that there can be the odd bar or two in a piece that that can be a b*gger to crack and ensure a high level of accuracy.
So how do you go about ensuring that near to perfect performance?
