It won’t be long before the children go #BackToSchool which means music lessons will resume. Our #WednesdayWisdom is therefore to be prepared.
If you or your child haven’t been playing regularly during the break (and if not, why not?) you should get your instruments out and give them a thorough check over. Take the opportunity to clean them (we’ve published many tips for this in previous Wednesday Wisdom posts) and to put a fresh set of strings on.
Ensure all your music is in one place and organised to allow you to find pieces easily. If you can get the play list for the term, or year, in advance take the opportunity to get it in advance so you can look it over and have any questions at the ready.
If you are going to perform during the new term try to get the music as far ahead as possible to give you the maximum time to familiarise yourself with it and to practice. Also, get the dress code equally ahead of time so that you can go over existing clothes; cleaning, repairing, or replacing as needs be or getting new outfits if required.
This way you can start class prepared and without the need to panic or worry where something is. Simples 😉
