Congratulations on your performance today.

Let’s talk about how we get to a great performance.

What if I told you I could help you make more time to do any of the following things. . . text your friends? go to the mall? read a book? practice free throws? play video games? watch tv? ride your bike? ________________ fill in yourself!

What if I told you I could teach you a practice skill so that you could. . .

learn even more music?

make your practice session more productive?

keep your practice sessions shorter?

The faster you can get something right, the sooner your job is done and the sooner you can move on to something new. Let’s give it a try.
