Creative Strategies for Practicing and Getting Most Out of Each Music Lesson
Now that we’ve explored some tips and tricks for successful music lessons let’s take a look at some creative strategies for getting the most out of each lesson:
- Record lessons: Recording lessons can be a great way to review the material after the lesson. The Music Loft Academy uses state of the art technology (do I avoid linking to Farplay here?) where all lessons are recorded for students to review at any time.
- Take notes: Taking notes during the lesson can help to reinforce the material.
- Ask for feedback: Asking for instructor feedback can help ensure that you are on the right track.
- Break it down: If a particular concept or technique is difficult to understand, break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces.
- Practice regularly: Make sure to practice regularly in between lessons. This will help to reinforce the material.
- Set up your home practice space. A dedicated home practice space is important because it provides a distraction-free environment that allows for focused practice, leading to improved skill development, better concentration, and a more consistent routine, as you can easily access your instruments and materials without interruption from others or your daily life; essentially, it creates a dedicated “sanctuary” for learning and honing your abilities.

How to Practice Effectively
Practice is an important part of the learning process when taking music lessons. Here are some tips for effective practice:
- Set goals: Setting goals for yourself can help to keep you motivated and focused.
- Have a plan: Make sure to plan what you would like to accomplish in your practice session.
- Set a timer: Setting a timer can help to ensure that you stay focused and don’t get too carried away.
- Break it down: Breaking down each concept or technique into smaller pieces can help to make it easier to understand.
- Take breaks: Make sure to take breaks during practice sessions. This will help to keep you energized and focused.
- Set up your own music room. Having a dedicated place to practice with everything you need at your fingertips is going to reap great rewards. Not sure where to start? Download a free guide (will need link to where this is housed) to setting up your perfect practice space!
