Kia ora! Welcome to the Practice Studio. Here you’ll find tools and resources to help you learn the saxophone through efficient practice. This space has been designed to help you organise your practice between lessons and keep track of your saxophone individual and ensemble learning and progress.<\/p>\n\n
Firstly, the Suggested Practice Session section helps you understand how to prioritise and allocate time to the four practice areas in each session. These areas are: Sound, Technique, Music, and Ensemble Project.\u00a0 Each area is briefly explained, along with some helpful tips.<\/p>\n\n
The Tips & Tricks section contains brief ideas on various topics, such as how to start improvising, recommended accessories, bibliography, suggested listening material, and study apps.<\/p>\n\n
My Practice Diary section is the main area of this set of tools, and enables us to organise what has been seen in each lesson and what you should have in mind in practise time during the week. You’ll find the Main focus of the week, and also what was worked and what needs to be done regarding the four areas mentioned above.\u00a0 You will also find space to write questions you want to ask your teacher in class, and a little recording applet to record examples of your playing.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-64775","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saxophones.nz\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/64775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saxophones.nz\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saxophones.nz\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saxophones.nz\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saxophones.nz\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64775"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/saxophones.nz\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/64775\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64871,"href":"https:\/\/saxophones.nz\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/64775\/revisions\/64871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saxophones.nz\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
