Becky’s Blog

This month’s Becky’s Blog focuses on how to Practice Well. Since growth is one of the four pillars our studio is founded on, making the most of your lessons through consistent practice is key.

Here are a few tips to help:

Record warmups and exercises on your device—or jot notes in a journal during your lesson.
Set aside regular practice time each week. If you only review material during lessons, you’ll find yourself relearning instead of building lasting habits.
Revisit your recordings or notes to make sure you’re practicing the way your teacher has instructed.
Use the practice log in the student portal for accountability and to track your progress.

Remember—building new habits takes time, patience, and consistency. The students who shine the brightest are often the ones who practice daily and come to their lessons excited to show their teachers how much they’ve grown. 🌟
