All Students

Practice, Practice, Practice.

You have made such wonderful improvement

recently and regular practice will ensure that you will be ready when you return.

Practice for endurance, tone, articulation and dynamic contrast.

Improvement from practice is lasting improvement.

Improvement without practice is just luck and will soon fade.
