Practice Tip: Add variety to your practice. As 7th and 8th graders approach their Festival Concert next week, we need to practice the whole piece at tempo a few times. However, to keep the piece fresh and exciting (and to continue polishing), ALSO practice the piece in many other ways as well. Slow down, speed it up, reverse dynamics, no slurs, all slurs, etc. Sky's the limit for ideas!
