Now, let’s set some goals!

My Goal-Setting video works together with the Practice Log Video below, where we discuss the two-part process of taking notes during our practice sessions, and then looking for patterns that can help us understand the journey. Staying focused on our goals, and being honest about the process, maintains positive energy and spirit through our growth as performers and educators. After you notate your goals, watch 5 Tips for Your Practice Log below, for a reminder about how to put these goals into your daily routine.
