In this video, I want to give you some tips and best practices for you to get the most out of these cores and to practice effectively. So, tip number one, practice, often, it is much better to do short sessions every day than to do one long session once a week. If you can manage to schedule say, 10 to 20 minutes per day, you're going to make huge progress. I can promise you that Spaced Repetition is really the key to a lot of learning. Tip number two, set up your practice base. If you can manage to find somewhere in your home where you can keep your harmonica and keep everything ready.
So you can just start practicing without doing any setups. you're much more likely to succeed in keeping your schedule. Tip number three, record yourself. If you record yourself every time you practice, and then listen to afterward for a short review, you will probably notice much more of what you're doing. When we play. We're not very well equipped to really hear what we're playing or hear what we're doing any mistakes will probably just go on heard.
However, if you record yourself, there's no way you're going to miss it. When you do the review, you will hear exactly what you did. And when you hear exactly what you do, you have a much better chance of correcting it for a later session. There are many great options for recording yourself. You can use your smartphone, you can use your computer or you can use good old tape recorder really doesn't matter what you use, as long as you record yourself a review afterwords Tip number four, don't rush. Take as much time as you need for every section.
This is not a competition. If it takes a day, a week, a month, it doesn't matter. Take as much time as you need to absorb the material. Now saying that the first two sections should probably be a bit quicker than the rest, but for the rest, I recommend a minimum of one week per section. If you follow these tips, I can guarantee that your progress will be more solid and you will enjoy it even more.
