At home, go through every song you have learned 2 cycles a day, playing in sequence, e.g. Taboo, TPW, El Vito, Taboo, etc.

Every time u hit a difficult part, slow down and focus on improving that part alone. Practice through it 5 times before moving on. Repeat this every time you get stuck.

For new songs, listen to the GP and internalize the tune. Learn the song in parts, e.g. 20-30 bars each time. After learning it, add it to the list of songs above and cycle through it.

This way, including warm-up, it shouldn't take more than 40-50 mins every time you practice at home, so just practice every 2-3 days (not including ensemble practice).

If you have problems with technique or parts of the song please feel free to consult me :P

Happy practicing!

Countdown:38 days

P.S. Okay I be more democratic, just shout out a time YOU think we should end on for this Saturday. (9-12 is untouchable)
