The Practice Blog
The Practice Blog is an ongoing music practice resource for students, teachers, parents and anybody involved in music who needs to practice.
RSS (for more information about RSS and how to use it click on the blue ? above the orange RSS button) is used to update you when I have updated the blog – kind of like an automatic bookmark that only appears when there is something new to see.
