Successful Practising
A handbook for pupils, parents and music teachers
by Jenny Macmillan
Good progress on an instrument depends on both good teaching to inspire the student and also good practice habits.
Successful Practising is intended to help
Clear and comprehensive, containing invaluable advice on how to practise and make the best use of practice time. An indispensable guide for anyone involved in any aspect of music education (Duncan McTier, double bass professor, RAM).
If we all followed the precepts admirably presented in Successful Practising we would all become wonderful instrumentalists and expressive musicians! (Bernard Roberts, concert pianist and professor, RCM).
I found your book to be the most well written and comprehensive handbook currently available, with a tremendous balance of academic rigour along with excellent separate sections for teachers, students and parents (Ben Cleverdon, Music Education Consultant).
