Practicing a piece of music and performing a piece of music are two very different things. It is very important to be aware of what your intentions are, otherwise you will waste valuable time at your instrument. Performance is only possible once sufficient practice has taken place. Then the art of performance also now needs to be added into the skillset. This is always an important fact to bear in mind, however the new ABRSM remotely assessed performance exam adds an extra dimension to this. Don’t waste your efforts but be mindful of how you work through your practice sessions. Get the best out of your instrument and enjoy performing the music you love.
