Instructions:

Please create a meaningful musical goal for your individual practice. Your goal should be specific for your instrument and what you would like to improve on in YOUR playing! On at least 5 days, write a sentence, recording what you did to achieve your goal! Happy Practicing!
Example of a poor goal: Learn all of my scales. (This goal is way too large for one week and is not specific) or I will practice for 1 hour (Time is not what is important about practicing, it is how you spend your time!)

Example of a GREAT goal: Play measures 36-44 with all the right notes and rhythms in March Jubilante on my trumpet! (This is a very specific goal therefore, you will easily be able to see if you accomplished your goal!)

By the end of the week I will be able to.
