Re: Practice Log

This is such an excellent idea! I love it. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth Andrew, but here's my impression. Keeping the log forces you to analyze your own playing, rather than just finishing with an exercise and saying to yourself "well that wasn't bad." It gives you a reference to go back to and see what you did and what you need to improve. It forces you to be honest with yourself when you don't have a teacher you meet with regularly (i.e. you can look and see all the blank pages and feel guilty and you can see what you need to work on and what you are avoiding). It also makes sure you have an organized and balanced routine for the day, week, month, year. Thank you!
