DMA Journey Day 4

Since starting this documentation and practicing, in the back of my mind while feeling anxious and like this goal is SO BIG! and questionably possible, I've been thinking... but you know how to do this... how would you help a student... Ah... Yes... What would I say to a student wanting to prepare a big goal? 
- Take inventory what exactly is this goal... how many pages/measures of music... what needs to be done... how challenging are the hardest parts... 
- How much time can you commit to practicing for this goal? Is it attainable in this amount of time? 
- What check-in points can we establish in the calendar (playing through, performing a movement for a friend, all fingerings in by this date, etc)
- A plan for how to approach the whole... just start at the beginning? hard parts first? last movement first? scattered sections anywhere as long as we do it???? 
- Tiny chunks for each week/day that fit into that whole... 

Ah, so Esther... how much time...and what check-ins... and whats the plan... and whats today's chunk?

It feels harder to do for myself!
