Practice Routines can be a powerful tool to improve your playing. Not only do they keep you focused and on track but they also allow you to progress in a structured way.

In this episode I discuss some of the elements that go into a good practice routine and announce the publication of 20 Practice Routines for Classical Guitar

    This was very helpful to me as I started practice routine #1 today. It was harder than I expected and in spite of my having practiced diligently and carefully up to this point, I found several places that really need work.

    I am looking forward to learning about the Bach Cello Suites from Dr. Jacques Lee Woods during Summer School. Today I started seriously working on the Allemande, Suite #1 in hopes of having a coaching opportunity with him in June. I assume that several of the participants are working on the Prelude and this will give a little variety.

    Hi Simon,
    This sounds like a fun and creative challenge. I don’t however know which routine book to buy. I am assuming book 3. What are your thoughts. At out lessons last year I played the David Russel Loch Lomand and Preludio de Adios. What are your thoughts.

      Hi Harvey! Hope you’re doing well. Yes, I think book 3 (Routines XI-XVI) would be a pretty good fit, though it will have some challenges (which is good!). What sort of technical exercises are you using currently?

      Peace,

      Dave B (CGC team)

    Excellent presentation. Reviewed this today and will consider including the 20 practice routines for students in the 2020-2021 academic year. Thank you.
