| Tips for Cutting Good Music (973 words) |

 | Don't expect a skater to interpret music which is inappropriate to his/her style of skating. |
 | Music is a great memory tool (can you really say the alphabet without singing the song???), and if the skater can associate each musical phrase with particular program elements it will make it a lot easier for them to avoid "getting lost" during a competition. |
