Practice makes perfect but I'd settle for average.

2010. The Year of Practice.

Well it is as far as I'm concerned. I've decided that I need to have a look at how I practice my playing and what is in each practice session. I figure if I write it all down and maybe get some feed back it'll be that much easier to form good habits and avoid pitfalls etc.

So here we are.

Starting on the 4th of January, 2010, I'm going to practicing for one hour a day. The following week, starting on the Monday, I'm going to up this to two hours each day and in the third week of January I'll hit the three hour mark.
I want to keep increasing the amount of time I spend practicing beyond three hours but I don't think adding an hour a week after that point is going to be practical when I need to a: Find a job and b: Go to said job.

So, three hours a day and I'll see how the work situation pans out before I go adding to that. There is nothing to say I can't practice more than one, two or three hours but I want to set a minimum.

At the end of each day I'm going to blog, or blag, about what I practice, how I felt it went and anything that I think of that is related to practice. I'm sure there are better reads out there on the internet but if people are watching, or even if I ignore the traffic counter and just pretend, I'm more likely to actually follow through.

At least that's what I'm hoping.

P.s. In case you're wondering I'm talking about practicing Saxophone. I'll also be looking at practicing flute and bass guitar but mainly focusing on sax.
