Inside the Practice Room with Patrick Sheridan
What better way to improve in the practice room than by joining the best musicians in the world while they practice?
Join tuba superstar Patrick Sheridan for an intimate look into how he approaches practicing! You will leave this workshop with the tools and strategies needed to get more done in the practice room in less time.
During this workshop Patrick described in detail the very intentional process he uses every day in the practice room:
The routine he starts every day with
The he leaves time at the end of his routine for fun which he calls “playing in the sandbox”
His relatively random post-routine practice schedule that he refers to as “random acts of music” and how he regularly finds the time to practice even when he is very busy
The dangers of practicing self-hatred and judgement in the practice room rather than practicing music
He chooses at least one thing each week that he is intentionally trying to move forward in a measurable way
Why he regularly asks himself “Could I have played that with any less tension? Was there any tension at all?”
His “Practicing in Trios” concept and how he applies that to everything he learns
The need to develop a love for repitition
Why copying someone else’s practice schedule is idiotic (Spoiler: You need to come up with what works best for you!)
Patrick’s mental approach that there’s nothing difficult in music - just familiar and unfamiliar
The tools he uses to help him practice on a daily basis
How he deals with both boredom and frustration in the practice room
