Practicing Effectively Fiddle Workshop
June 25, 2015 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am UTC-7
$20
Learn how to get the most out of your practice time! We all know that we need to practice, but few of us actually learn how to practice effectively. This workshop covers the difference between practice and playing, and how to create an effective practice regimen. This workshop is appropriate for all levels and instruments.
Members of the NOTFA will be charged a fee of $10 per workshop. Non-members will be charged a fee of $20 per workshop. Children under 12 participating in workshops may be accompanied by a non-paying adult. Workshop signups will be available Sunday, June 21, across from registration tables: The workshops are held in the Band Room.
