Great practice doesn’t happen by accident — it’s built through smart routines and repeatable habits. In this practical workshop, violinist and educator Moni Simeonov (Director of String Studies at the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at California State University, Long Beach and Chair of Chamber Music at the Colburn School) breaks down how to warm up efficiently, strengthen technique consistently, and create small daily systems that lead to real progress.

Participants explore:

• The difference between warm-up routines and technique-building routines
• How to warm up like an athlete (focused, intentional, injury-aware)
• How to build reliable technique through daily practice structures
• How to design microhabits that make consistency easier
