Love thyself...by practicing effectively

Thanks for this picture, Nancy!

Frigid temperatures can bring lethargy and winter blues along with a lull in motivation to practice, so I wanted to post some articles and videos that may rekindle your cello flame!  

• Ideas for the best ways to deal with repetitive practice
• A thought from Alban Gerhardt about open string work
• Suggestions regarding slow practice
• A short video on the helpfulness of scales
• Itzhak Perlman's opinion on maximum practice time
• My post about practice (from 2013, in case you missed it!)

Do you have any thoughts to share about your successes or struggles with practice?  Let me know in the comments section below!

Happy
Cello

I was too young to know better.
