1.  Have you been successful in integrating all layers of this Practice Method Pyramid #3?

Yes, I believe so. Whenever there's a new portion of music or a new technical skill to drill I applied the sequence pyramid as well as the method pyramid. 

2.  What aspects of this pyramid do you find helpful?

The three time rule almost makes each section like a game where you need to win three times to go to the next level. It helped me make sure I really got it before moving on to the next thing. I saw an improvement in retention because of this. 

3.  What aspects of this pyramid do you find to be a challenge?

Allowing each chunk the time it needs to be learned can be challenging as I am generally one to push time limits and rush. However, the method pyramid adds mindfulness to this bad habit. 

For this unit I decided to focus on the Ear Training tool from y music literacy toolbox. The more times I'd hear a song the more easily I could identify the note without looking at the sheet music when I made a mistake. This definitely something I want to foster and make better.
