Pay Attention While Practicing

How well do you pay attention while you practice?  Practice as if this moment is the only time you have to get it right. Be present when you practice, take your time and pay attention to every detail. As Herbert L. Clarke, the great American cornet soloist and pedagogue said, “correct the least mistake you make immediately. Bad habits are easily formed and difficult to remedy.”  Picture the musical outcome that you want and then go for it!
