Flute practice log
A simple way to keep a flute practice log: what to practice each day, a free printable chart, and an app that keeps the log for you.
A 25-minute flute practice routine
| Long tones (5 min) | Hold low notes with a steady, centred sound; listen to the start and end of each note. |
| Technique (5–10 min) | Scales and articulation patterns, slurred and tongued, with a metronome. |
| Pieces (10–15 min) | Mark the breaths in pencil; practise the hard runs slowly in small groups. |
| Play-through (5 min) | A piece you know well, focusing on tone. |
Take a short break if you feel light-headed: breathing takes practice too.
What to write in the log
- The date and how many minutes.
- What was practiced: the scale, the piece and the bars.
- How it went, and anything to ask the teacher.
