-- How to practice music efficiently --
When you're serious about developing your skills as a musician, the sheer number of different things that you need to work on can seem overwhelming. This is why making sure you're practising efficiently is so important. It lets you cover more of those topics in the limited time you have available.
And, what's more, efficient practice allows you to squeeze each individual topic into a shorter window. That's vital for making sure your practice is effective as well. It's simply not possible to keep your concentration levels at their maximum for ever - so when you're able to be efficient and make practice sessions shorter then this will increase your EFFECTIVENESS as well.
This video gives my top suggestions for practical actions you can take that will make your practice sessions much more efficient.
1. Have topics planned in advance
2. REALLY plan them out in detail
3. Have everything you need easily to hand
4. Find exercises that tick more than one box at once
5. Set timers and make them just too short
Plus, there’s some bonus advice at the end on the best way to structure your practice...

Thanks so much for watching! 👉 Watch this video on HOW TO PRACTICE MUSIC *EFFECTIVELY* next: ua-cam.com/video/2DksmM7zSVI/v-deo.html
This is one of the most helpful posts on practice techniques I have watched. Thank you
Totally agree about having a practice space set up, and not having to unpack things to even begin to start. This point applies to whatever art form, because it can be a hurdle that demotivates unless one has all resources set up and ready to go.
Goal setting. 20 mins of deliberate playing is better than an afternoon of mucking around. "Well done that man" ... he knows what's going on.
Glad you enjoyed it, Deryck.
I was just about to sit down and practice and watched your vid (from notification). Took a bunch of notes that now sit in plain view. Planning now. GREAT talk! Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Appreciate you sharing so much! Great ideas that work.
You are so welcome!
I got tremendous value from this video, especially the bonus tip! Thanks so much! I'll be putting it to practice.
Glad it was helpful, Philomena!
I watched a few your videos last nights I really get where you’re coming from. Thank you Mark I’m finding this very helpful. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great to hear this, Max! You're very welcome.
I was about to start a practice session later than intended with not much time; very glad that I read these tips first, they reminded me to be efficient and use the time well! I've written them down, and will leave on the piano!
Great to hear!
This is brilliant advice - I like 'emotional' scales - mix up different scales - improvise - compose scales a la Messiaen. Great video - practice can be creation
Nice idea, Neil. I'm a big fan of making sure that you put any technical exercises into musical contexts before too long. Sounds like you've got a great way to do that.
Yeah, the sleep factor. I worked on a big construction job in Italy right after college, putting a pipeline through the mountains, and learned from the natives their habit of kicking back and sleeping for a couple of hours after lunchtime, and then going on refreshed late into the evening. Had many experiences there (during sleep) of the work "working itself into my bones". Should maybe be a formalized part of any serious study, practice, or training. Glad to see you mentioning it here.
Great story. Thanks for sharing!
Clear, practical and instantly-applicable advice!
Thanks for watching, Charles. And glad it was helpful.
I really like the bonus tip!
Thanks!
Great ideas! Thanks Mark!
Glad you like them!
All great nitty gritty recommendations Mark;
we can't hear this stuff enough, or too often; without these helpful tips on a regular basis, I would become hopelessly inefficient and despondent about my practice.
So glad it was helpful, Aidan. And I agree that we all need to hear these things regularly. Myself definitely included...
Hello Mark, playing from memory certainly improve your performance, do you have a video with demonstration, please.
Lots to be learnt ,excellent advise .i practice get lost some where ,waist valuable time ,learn nothing ,sounds familiar ,just end up playing Melody’s achieve O .
Glad you found it useful, Paul.
Congratulations for your videos but i hear a lot of talking and zero musical examples (i am refering to all your videos).Maybe you dont want to be misjudged from the skill level of your playing but there are a lot of examples you could give to be more understandable.Many people will probably get bored after your second or third video.
That's kind of the point. My videos are all talking about the thinking processes behind what we do as musicians. There are plenty of other people who cover the physical technique aspects.
Were there any specific examples you had in mind where you can suggest something that would make a point much clearer?
