G'day all
I was just wondering if anyone could please share their practise methods with eveyone here as I'm very curious as to how everyone practises effectively (or not).
I have this awful problem where I'll be working on something, and I'll think to myself "That'll do. I know the notes, what more is there?" whereas what I really need is to be more meticulous, methodical, and thorough. Yet I somehow can't do this. And at the end of the practise session, I feel very satisfied because I can technically play the piece, but I soon get a feeling of guilt over what I didn't do.
For example, I'm currently working on Debussy's Premiere Rhapsody. I'm playing it in my recital in just under four week's time. I could play it in my sleep; from a technical standpoint. But it's the details. I stop and work on uneven or difficult passages, but I don't stop and think "What does this marking mean, and how does it relate to this section when it returns later?" or "Why should this accent sound different to this one?" "Why am I changing colour here?" Then I suddenly find myself in a lesson with my teacher where I feel like I don't know the first thing about the piece, but I sure as hell can play it. There's no context or detail; just notes.
Where am I going wrong with this?
