Make one phrase easier to practise

Choose a complete unit of meaning

Start with a sentence, answer or musical phrase that can be understood on its own. Leave enough sound before and after it to preserve the rhythm. A fragment cut halfway through a breath is harder to study.

Create the practice file

1. Open the lesson or recording and find the wanted passage.
2. Select and preview it, adjusting the beginning and ending as needed.
3. Use Trim to keep that range.
4. Export a new file with a useful name, such as the topic or phrase being practised.

Keep a route back to the full context

Retain the longer original and note where the passage came from. If the short exercise later needs an extra sentence or beat, make a new selection from that source rather than piecing together several compressed exports.
