What is it?

 

Practice.com is a seqential system of music instruction that allows instrumental students to pass through a series of exercises providing them with a strong, fundamental understanding of music notation and developing the necessary skills for excellent performance.

 

Here's how the system works: A student receives a list of exercises to prepare, records the exercises on his home computer then sends the recorded files to the Practice.com website. The recordings are then evaluated by Mr. Lumpkin and a new list of exercises is sent to the student usually within 18 hours. Recordings are evaluated 20 days per month.

 

There are a total of 1,575 small exercises in the series derived from Band Today by Ployhar, books 1, 2, 3; Technic Today by Ployhar, books 1, 2, 3; rhythm exercises, and scales. Students typically take three years to complete the exercises, but some students have completed them in as little as one year.

 

Practice.Com Software (PCS) is currently in beta testing and will continue in this mode for several weeks. If you choose to use PCS, my payment will be your continual feedback. I need to know what's working, what isn't, what ideas you have to make things better. When the beta testing is over, there will be a $19.95/month charge to use the service.
