Starting OutImproving practising skills
Print this articlePrint version 1/7 NextNext
01 Introduction
Everyone needs to practise, and everyone who's a performer should, by rights, love it. But don't think that practising means just playing things through. Getting into a few good habits will make you improve much more quickly.

This section will give you some ideas on improving your skills, including:
  • When and where to do it
  • Preparing for a practice
  • Practising in a group
  • Practising alone
  • Giving and taking criticism
  • Writing
"We weren't concerned about sounds and what we sounded like - we were just having fun with it. We just whacked it up and played as hard as we could, as fast as we could, or as quiet as we could, as slow as we could - extremes."
