Introduction from Lisa Dowdall
Hello to all fellow musicians. Welcome to Practice Club!
These videos were made from live practice sessions held on zoom during the pandemic. We’ve put them all here so you can use as you want! The full videos are great, but, if you’re looking for quick tips and advice on something specific, or some warm-ups or exercises to support your practice, we’re made lots of playlists so you can find exactly what you’re looking for!
Thank you to all our contributors for your time, honesty and showing us your approaches to continuous learning. We hope you enjoy!
We have developed a number of YouTube playlists to cater for your every Practice Club need.
