Is getting better at flamenco on your list of goals for the new year?
(Mine too.)
One of the best things you can do to advance your flamenco skills and understanding is to implement a regular flamenco routine.
This routine will help you meet the specific flamenco goals you set for yourself.
It will include a combination of study and practice in a way that works for you.
When you designate time in your schedule for both learning and practicing, growth is inevitable.
(And when you don't, it's likely not going to happen.)
Whether it's once a day or once a week, get that practice time into your calendar, even if it's just five minutes.
Whether it's one class or many, make the commitment.
Ready to make it happen?
Follow the steps below.
PART ONE: Learning Time
Option One: Enroll in a class or classes
1. Look at the classes available in your area or online.
2. Sign up for a session.
(If you have questions before jumping in, contact the school now! Please don’t put it off, or it may not happen.)
Option Two: Self-study
If you want less guidance or are on a limited budget, then self study might be your best bet.
1. Choose your means of self study.
Perhaps you’ll choose free tutorial videos available here or here or somewhere else online.
With so many options out there it can feel overwhelming. Don’t stress! Decide on something to try out now, and switch it up later if you wish.
2. Put it in your calendar.
This step is essential, or you’re likely to skip your “classes.”
PART TWO: Practice Time
1. Grab your planner, or open your desktop or mobile calendar.
2. Schedule your practice time.
Get something on the books, and try it out. You can change the time later if need be.
Extra Optional Step
Check it off your list!
Now that you’ve got a plan in place and the time set aside, it’s time to implement.
If you want some extra help, I recommend any type of recording system.
This can be as simple as making a checkmark in your planner once you’ve completed a session, striking a line through it, or noting it in a journal at the end of the day.
If you prefer a more obvious visual reminder that you’ll see during the day, write your tasks on a white board, and erase them once completed, or use sticky notes that you move from one side of the mirror to the other once a session is complete.
Checking things off a list can provide a sense of accomplishment which is both gratifying and motivating.
Be Flexible
Try out your new plan, and reevaluate later on.
If you don’t like how things are going, make adjustments.
You may choose to do this at the end of the month or as you go.
Make your flamenco routine work for you.
But get something in place now, and watch yourself grow.
