We made it to the big 5-0! Today’s episode is officially episode number 50. Thank you to all the guests who agreed to come on and share their careers and to the Violin Podcast community for continuing to listen to the episodes. I try to provide as much value as I can to help you become better violinists.
Today’s episode is a solo one, and I dive into some of the common practice barriers musicians have in the practice room.
I think a lot about practice and how it shapes the way we play. I was thinking about it so much that I felt I had some ideas to share. I’m happy to announce that today also marks the release of my NEW e-book titled, “The Musician’s Practice Guide: A Quick Guide For Musician’s Who Can’t Find Time To Practice”. You can check out the link in our story or in our bio to get your copy at $5! The price won’t last much longer so if you’re serious to transform your practice regimen, this is the e-book for you.
