Topic -

Learning to practice

set aside moment of time teaching your brain and muscles how to perform

developing a set of skills

learn something new

dont let frustrating rule

dont throw expensive things

play to metronome

dont waste time playing sections we already can play

practice too fast

practice little parts

come back to it frequenly

not stroking ego in practice

micro tempo – take a problem section and practice it slower than you want to, at least 1/2 tempo, it is slow enough so your brain can comprehend what you are doing

isolate and repeate – focus on one measure and loop it at micro tempo and slowly speed it up

over clocking – play the piece 5/10 bpm faster so that when you back it down it feels comfortable

make sure you practice nuience in the piece

Learning to fly – pink floyd

Learning to fly – tom petty
