Practice Journal Questions


Here are some Ideas of some questions to consider during your practice. I have been talking to my students about their practice and how to create more awareness and to have a practice that is present, playful, positive and productive.     

Let me know how these questions effected your practice and playing.

Heartfully,
Jennifer



Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves... Live the questions now. Perhaps gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.  
 ~Rainer Maria Rilke 



Practice Journal Questions:
Please journal a bit during your practice to help yourself be 
present, playful, positive, productive.
Here are a few ideas I would like you to consider and write down some notes about:
How is your connection to yourself and your instrument at this moment in time?
What is your intention for your musical practice?
What is your practice plan for the day and week?
Be specific!
During your practice right now, how are you bringing your practice intentions to life? 
Are you allowing your practice to transform you? How?
Is this different from your intention? How?

What are your thoughts on:  
What you just taught yourself,  how you grew,
what you discovered about the music and yourself?

What are some other ideas that you would like to play with next practice session?
What insights did you have by listening and watching recordings you made during your practice session today?

What questions do you have??? Other Ideas, Thoughts, Feelings?:
