I watched this 3 months ago and have kept a journal ever since. I have a hard time going into the details, since I don't consider myself a musician. But that's not a problem, working on the technical stuff is an achievement in itself.
Excited to come across your video! Embarking on a piano comeback after over two decades, and your insights on maintaining a practice journal align perfectly with my journey. Your philosophy of setting goals and reflecting is spot on. Thanks for sharing this valuable guidance!📖 Looking forward to implementing these tips and maximizing my practice sessions, documented on my channel 🎹✨
i’m an adult beginner. i started playing during the pandemic for stress relief. my own practice journal is a bit scattered because i’m not sure what to put in it. thank you for the helpful suggestions 🙂
When do you take your lesson notes, like do you write during lessons or how long after lessons? I’m a adult violin beginner for 4 months, and I’m thinking about taking lesson notes too because I realized I may forget my teacher’s specific suggestions and points for what to work on when practicing, BUT the thing is for a beginner so many things are going on in my brain in a lesson that sometimes I can only remember some of them when I try to take a quick note on my phone on the way home ksjaksjks😂
What I do is I record the audio (and sometimes video) for all of my lessons, with my teacher's permission of course. After my lesson, I listen to the recording and write down everything important from the lesson in a notebook. I used to write the notes within the lesson, but it takes up more time in the lesson and every minute is valuable so writing the notes after ensures you get the most out of your lessons. I recommend asking your teacher if they are okay with you recording your lessons. If you write everything down afterwards, you are more likely to focus on it within the next week and do well in your next lesson. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Yeah I did quite a bit of journaling at one point and had trouble figuring out how to use it and stick with it. It's all about customizing it so that it serves you in the best way possible!

I started playing piano and then viola as a senior! This is very helpful information. Thank you.

Thks for the tips Julia. At the moment I am using the app Practice by Musopen, because I don't have nice writing like you.
Ooh I'll have to check that out! Glad the tips are useful!
@@JuliaJacobsen Because you use Apple, I think you might want to check the Andante app. (It's not available to Android yet).
I actually use that app everyday and love it so much!
@@JuliaJacobsen My silly illusion that I could tell you something that you didn't know yet.

@@JuliaJacobsen thank you! I'll try that 🥰
My dog ate mine … three times. 😢
I like to keep journals but I can't find the good way for keeping it useful/effective
They weren't for music btw
