Characteristics of Advanced Students: List 1

Here is a list developed by violinist, David Strom.
I have been putting these nuggets up in small sets weekly or so on my studio announcements for the beginners and intermediates to learn to think and act and eventually become like advanced students!  I thought I would include them on my blog as well.

1. Practice slowly - never faster than easy.
2. Get ready carefully.
3. Never give up.
4. Don't whine or complain.
5. Practice in small nuggets - then put into context.
6. Practice to make easy, practice to make clear.
