In July 2011, I was pleased to present a workshop to the Convention of the American Guild of Organists (Region IX). As I figured out what it means to "Practice Less, Play More", I developed a collection resources and guides which streamline the practicing process and maximize the results of practicing time. The slides which I used are presented below - be forewarned that the first 17 slides are inspirational quotes on the topic.

The most crucial thing that you can do is focus your practicing time - what is a "good practice session"? How do you determine if you progressed? That which is measured will improve - so please also use the practicing journal guide on the left menu - writing down your next steps will help you measure (improve) your repertoire.
