The Top Four Best Ways to Practice

1. Tap & count newly assigned songs two times 
     each for first two days
2. Play each song slow enough to allow for no pauses. 
    Play song four times at one sitting.  Are you hesitating
    anywhere?
3. With pencil, lightly circle problem spots and play
     'em over and over. Now play entire song.
4. Patience :)  Practice right no matter what.

Top Four Worst Ways to Practice

1. Forget tapping before playing
2. Start playing a song REALLY FAST and fumble through to the end.
3. Continue playing and ignore your mistakes.
4. Wait until the day before your lesson to cram in practice time.
