What does the teacher practice?

1. Time
2. Feel
3. Balance

How do I practice these musical qualities?

1. Playing rudiments with a metronome.
2. Working on technical exercises for limb independence.
3. Recording my playing of the above and listening back.
4. Lastly, repertoire: Early New Orleans Jazz, Swing, Modern Bebop, Classic Rock, Blues shuffles, Classic funk, rudimental drum solos, Scottish Highland drumming, and modern styles derived from Dance and Hip Hop. As always, listening back to the practice recordings as I go along. I always know why I'm repeating a passage in my practice time.

Philosophy of practice

1. Practice is a privilege.
2. I know what to practice, why I'm practicing it, and what success sounds like before I begin practicing. 
3. My practice space is organized with everything ready at hand.
4. I enjoy every part of learning. There are no boring bits.
5. I play before or after I practice.

Cheers,
