A session with a shape

Practice the thing that needs practice.

Plan the session around technique, repertoire, and current trouble spots. Keep the timer attached to the piece instead of turning practice into a stopwatch.

Your repertoire has a memory now

Know what you're playing, and what is starting to fade.

Treat repertoire as a living system: learning, polished, drifting, rusty, and ready to return.

Practice journal

Remember what happened, not just how long you sat there.

Capture the measure, the tempo, the thing that improved, and the place to begin next time.

Beethoven - Sonata Op. 13

II. Adagio cantabile

Worked: mm. 17-28
Improved: Voicing in the upper line
Still uneven: LH accompaniment after m. 22
NEXT SESSION
Begin at m. 21. Hands separate first. Do not start from the beginning.
Polished is not permanent

A piece can disappear quietly.

Surface repertoire that has gone untouched long enough to drift before it becomes a full rebuild.

Measure attention, not vanity.
