Practice . . . the dreaded word for every music student. Well, usually anyway. I don't think it has to be. I try not to use that word too much or introduce negative connotations with it. But whatever you call it or however you approach it, we all still need to do it! I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my student's (and my own!) practice habits and effectiveness. Here are a few articles I've come across on the topic (not in any particular order).
