Matt and Alistair explore effective practice strategies for wind controllers, sharing insights on how to make practice sessions more productive and enjoyable for players at all levels.

• Creating a dedicated practice space with equipment always ready to use
• Setting aside regular time for practice, even if just for a few minutes daily
• Breaking down difficult passages into small, manageable sections
• Using a metronome effectively, including practicing with clicks on beats 2 and 4
• Keeping a practice journal to track progress and hold yourself accountable
• Focusing on problematic areas rather than playing through pieces repeatedly
• Using apps like RhythmBot and Sonofield to improve timing and ear training
• Active listening to other musicians to understand stylistic nuances
• Practicing with purpose: "Practice until you can't get it wrong"
• Working on timing and articulation, not just notes
• Setting up your wind controller properly to match your playing style
