Creating Your Own Practice Routine
5 (3)
intermediate · Technique
Lindy Day
In this 10 week course, we'll learn the art of how to practice. I'll show students how to structure their practice routine so they can better achieve their musical goals. We will study the science of learning. I'll also offer custom guitar exercises. These exercises will be organized by goal. For example: singer-songwriters may want to focus on a chord progression warmup, where as a lead guitarist may choose to focus on a scale intensive warmup. Each student will receive all PDFs and all exercises, and it's up to them to decide what to include in their routine, and which exercises will not serve them. Each student's routine will look different and we will spend time at the end of each class discussing our routines, our successes, and what hasn't been serving us. It's empowering to have these discussions amongst our peers. Highly focused on encouraging the student to write down their own goals. This will inform the student how to build their practice routine. Empowered musician understand where they're going, and by the end of this course, you will be a more self-sufficient musician.

String Theory Part 1 - Triads
Molly is absolutely amazing. The way she breaks things down so you can understand how to play is incredible. She encourages questions to help you along in your journey. I would encourage everyone to take her class. You will be better no matter what.
Tayler K.
Meaningful Chords, Meaningful Soloing
I left Jude's class feeling much more confident in knowing how to make meaningful musical decisions. This class was always the highlight of my week and it was a blast getting to learn alongside other musicians seeking growth! Highly recommend!
Ryan G.
Chord Creation
Arianna's class is amazing. Every class was extremely well thought out, always engaging, and had great cohesion of concepts throughout every class. It’s more reminiscent of a Music Conservatory Masterclass than your typical basic online class!

Quist is excellent at providing motivation to practice. My family, friends, and bandmates commented that my guitar playing, timing, and phrasing all improved.

Workshop for the Developing Guitarist
This was a great class. I learned a lot from Dylan and Eugene and the lessons were very fun. They are both extremely knowledgeable and experienced teachers. I look forward to any future classes.

Level Up: Jazz & Contemporary Guitar
I've already learned so much my brain hurts! Tash has given me some simpler things to work on since I'm a beginner. I've taken several of the Til classes and they are such a great way to learn.
