More than "how do I get my right hand to cooperate," "how do I learn to name the notes I'm playing" or even "really? Austin? I thought you were from New York!" the question I get most is: "What should I practice, and how should I practice it?"

So here are my thoughts on how to get clear on your goals, simplify your practice, and focus on the important things like time, phrasing and making your own creative choices.
