Practice Schema

I may annotate musical score, subdividing it into fragments.

For each fragment I might score myself 0 / 2 / 5 / 8 / 10 for different aspects: note reading / memorizing / technique / expression.
To perhaps focus on things with lower scores.

Example Schema

Fragment Read Memorize Technique Expression
1 - - 5 - - - - 5 - - - - - 8 - - 2 - - -
2 - - 5 - - - 2 - - - - - - 8 -
3 - 2 - - - - 2 - - - - - 5 - - - - 5 - -
-------- --------- --------- --------- ---------
4 - - 5 - - - - - 8 - - - - 8 - - - - 8 -
3' - - - 8 - - - - 8 - - - 5 - - - - - 8 -
5 0 - - - - - - - 8 - - - 5 - - - - 5 - -
-------- --------- --------- --------- ---------
1' - - - 8 - - - - - 10 - - 5 - - - 2 - - -
6 - - 5 - - - - 5 - - - - 5 - -
7 - - 5 - - - - 5 - - - - 5 - - - - 5 - -
8 - - - 8 - - - 5 - - - - - 8 - - - 5 - -
9 - - 5 - - - 2 - - - - - 5 - - - 2 - - -

Details

  • Subdividing in fragments may be the most useful step.
  • Thinking in these 4 separate aspects might help.
  • Identifying things with lower scores, may help focus efforts.
  • Writing down the scores may be less significant.
    • Once memorization scores are up, scores for note reading might matter less.
    • Once memorized, I might do the rest of the scoring in my head. Typing it in, may seem a bit laborious then.
    • A trick might be to score everything with an 8. Then selectively lower that score to 5 for the fragments that desire some attention.
  • Acceptance:
    • A score of 8 might be enough to move on.
    • When scores will not go up anymore, perhaps accept this as the end result.
    • Preventing perfectionism / frustration.
    • Depends how high you set the bar.

  • Reading:
    • Might include annotating with mnemonics and cheats.
    • May include my making sheet music with simplified notation and/or chord progressions.
  • Memorizing:
    • Analyzing phrase and repetition structure may help.
    • Memorizing might at one point include memorizing the chords.
  • Technique:
    • Might include fingering.
    • Annotating the musical score with arrows/symbols how to move.
    • Figuring out tricks for the harder fragments.
  • Expression:
    • It may be a bit difficult to judge the expression without hearing back a recording.
