home practice

Solo skill rehearsal

Home practice is work done outside of formal instruction to reinforce skills learned in class.

The term appears most often in yoga, meditation, and music contexts, where a teacher introduces techniques and students develop them independently: My teacher says I need to establish a daily home practice.

Unlike homework, which implies assigned tasks, home practice emphasizes self-directed repetition and personal discipline.
