Elizabeth Green 
Practicing Successfully 

Has this ever happened to you? You begin to practice your [insert instrument of choice], and just when you reach a sixteenth-note passage, you are stopped cold. You repeat the offending section over and over to no avail–until your frustration causes you to quit in disgust.It need not be so! In Practicing Successfully, legendary music educator Elizabeth A. H. Green draws upon her decades of experience instructing students of all levels to break down the practicing regimen into a logical learning sequence.GIA Publications, Inc., is proud to bring to light this remarkable, timeless book Elizabeth Green completed in the last days of her life. This manuscript tragically remained undiscovered for many years.Green does not promise that practice will be easy, but with time, patience, and smart application of the suggested techniques, progress will come. She writes, "Ultimate success depends upon one immutable, inescapable, and well-publicized fact: the musician has to practice–successfully or not."
