Tip 26

SLOW IT DOWN (Even slower than you think)

Daniel Coyle says this:  “Super slow practice works like a magnifying glass:  it lets us sense our errors more clearly, and fix them.”  

The focus is on going slowly and then FIXING the problem passage.  You will perhaps need to spend a few minutes with your child this week to help them establish this practice method.

Remember:  It’s not how fast your child can play a passage.  It’s how slowly she/he can do it correctly.
