Music Practice Planning

First Published: 2023 January 3

Draft 1

I talked about how I do better with doing things when they’re scheduled, and how I do better with schedules when I know what’s scheduled. With that in mind, it seems useful to plan out what I’ll practice on my instruments.

Much as I love accordion, it’s more of an ordeal to practice, so I find that I don’t do it as much, especially when I’m tired. So, on days when I lack energy, my practice will be playing through a song on guitar and doing a scale.

If I have mental energy again,1 I would like to try to learn at least a song every two weeks.2 That way I can keep the open mics spiced up. I’d ideally like to do most of these on accordion.
