Practicing at Home

Things that will help with practice:

  • A dedicated practice space or somewhere easy to set up to play.
  • A music stand: Important for good posture and practicing for when you’re in a band situation and need to watch a conductor
  • Metronome: Essential to good practice habits for staying in time and working on feeling a beat. A really good resource for this is www.8notes.com/metronome, not only can you use it as a traditional metronome but there are different drum beats to choose from also. There are plenty of free apps that work also.
