St. Practice to St. Patrick’s Challenge

maldonm

Your challenge is to decided how often you will practice and what you will practice. As part of the St. Practice to St. Patrick’s challenge I will be offering an open studio starting next week. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8:30am PST. Bring what you plan on practicing and your music and join us for some accountability. Zoom Link Here.

Can’t make to open studio’s. Design your own practice routine at home. Share your ideas, progress, struggles in the Facebook group. 

There are several recesses to help you get inspired on the website. The Your Ultimate Practice Guide is one place to start.

In this playlist they didn’t have a recording for the Merchant Set on Spotify so I used the Mabula site to find another recording of the same length. A great tool for teachers and callers. Here is a link to their site. It’s a database of set dancing recording. All you have to do is enter in the number of bars and tune type and all the recording of that length will come up. I love this site as often I can find a recoding that is the right length even if I don’t have the recording in my library for that particular set. In the olden days we used to call these “scrap sets”.
