12.0 Practice Like It’s A Performance T here are so many things to concentrate on when playing. If you are in the habit of practicing with good tone, intonation, dynamics, then there will be less to worry about during a real performance. So what can you do with every practice to make sure you are practicing with the best playing you can manage? Before I knew how to warm up properly, I sometimes would practice with bad tone because my muscles wouldn't always work without a warm-up.
13.0 Record Yourself W hen you record yourself you can be your own teacher. You can listen to yourself better and hear little nuances in your playing such as uneven notes, that you might not notice when you are concentrating on playing the notes. You can listen to what needs correcting. If you use a computer video, you can see your posture or presentation. One teacher told me that when she turns on a video recorder in the lesson, a student that usually groans about having to play a piece over for her wants to play it over and over and over. When I video myself, it works that way too. I keep wanting another chance to get it better. So I play it again and again. One more benefit of recording yourself is that it is like a dress rehearsal for preparing to play in front of people. Sometimes, I actually feel nervous if I get dressed up, then play in front of a recorder.
