You know the struggle of balancing music classes with academics in school, and not having the time to practice? That was me in 9th grade, grappling with an overbooked schedule, I hardly practiced. Flash forward to 12th grade where everything had changed. Through three key steps I took, I had a better balance in my schedule, allowing me enough time to practice.
I'll share three strategies I developed to manage my commitments, align my class choices, and carve out substantial time for practice.
First we dive into discussing priorities. Everyone's priorities are different and it is important for you to understand your own. Next we talk about how these priorities fit in with choosing academic classes. Finally, we finish off with touching on the importance of giving yourself grace. You are doing this for the first time, so it is important to be patient with yourself.
