    A Practice Strategy That Could Potentially Be Twice as Effective as Regular Practice? Jan 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Do you get bored of doing lots and lots of repetition in the practice room? The good news is that there's a better (and more interesting) way to get your repetitions in. A way that at least in one 2016 study led to a 2x performance improvement in the same amount of time!

    Why Practicing Practicing from an Early Age is So Important Dec 26, 2021
    Show notes

    I stumbled across a home video of me practicing as a young child the other day and was horrified to hear how completely unorganized, unthoughtful, and un-deliberate my practice was at that age. Which made me wonder - can young kids be trusted to practice effectively?

    A 2010 study provides some clues on what happens at home during the week between lessons, and a couple things teachers can do to make sure this time is being spent making things better, not worse!

    Two Approaches to Memorization - One of Which Can Leave You Lost and Stranded if You Rely on It Too Much! Dec 19, 2021
    Show notes

    Some people seem to have a really easy time with memorizing new pieces. Or at least, they seem to be really confident and secure in their memory. Is there something they know that we don't? Are they doing anything differently in the practice room?

    Not Sure How to Do Mental Practice? Here's a 7-Point "How-To" Guide Dec 12, 2021
    Show notes

    We've all heard stories of athletes and musicians using visualization or mental practice to enhance their learning or performance. But how exactly are we supposed to do it?

    In this episode, you'll learn about PETTLEP; a 7-point "how-to" set of guidelines, developed by two British researchers, drawing from the research in performance psych and neuroscience.

    Kristian Steenstrup: On Singing, Solfège, and Cultivating a More Efficient Approach to Learning New Music. Dec 05, 2021
    Show notes

    Have you ever wondered why solfège is such a constant in most music curricula? Or why teachers often ask us to sing in lessons? And if any of this is ever going to pay off in meaningful ways?

    A recent Danish study suggests that integrating a bit of singing into one's practice might indeed have some real worthwhile benefits. Lead author and trumpet professor Kristian Steenstrup drops by to chat for a bit and shares more details on what they found, plus an intriguing 4-step process for learning new music a little more efficiently.

    Struggling to Get a Tricky Passage up to Tempo? Why Slow, Accurate Practice May Actually Be the Problem. Nov 28, 2021
    Show notes

    We've all been told that slow practice is important. And while it's certainly an important tool to have in your toolbox, there is research which suggests that slow practice can potentially cause problems too, if we are too focused on slow, accurate playing in the early stages of learning something new.

    What?!

    In today's episode, you'll learn why this is, and two strategies to help you learn a new piece at the goal tempo from day 1.

    Evidence That Too Much Consistency in Practice Could Potentially Hinder the Learning Process (What?!) Nov 21, 2021
    Show notes

    The traditional method of learning is to try to learn the correct "textbook" way of performing a skill, and to do lots and lots of repetitions of that exact movement. But there's some increasing research in the last 20 years which suggests that this may not always lead to the best learning or performance.

    And that doing a bunch of goofy "wrong" repetitions that one would never do in performance could actually lead to more consistently and high-level execution of that skill.

    Why Too-Short Practice Breaks Could Undermine Your Learning Nov 14, 2021
    Show notes

    I know we've all been told (and experienced first-hand) that cramming doesn't work, and learn better when our practice or study sessions are spaced out over time. But why?

    What's actually happening in our brains, that makes spaced practice more effective?

    Vivian Hornik Weilerstein: On Listening, Leading, and Learning How to Be More in Sync With Your Music-Making Partners. Nov 07, 2021
    Show notes

    Whether you're a pianist, a singer, or instrumentalist, I'm sure you've had the experience of feeling a sort of musical "chemistry" when collaborating with other musicians.

    In this month's conversation, pianist and educator Vivian Hornik Weilerstein shares insights on how pianists can be better listeners, leaders, and collaborators with their music-making partners. And though I originally approached this episode with pianists in mind, I think you'll find that everything Vivian talks about applies to non-pianists who wish to collaborate more effectively with their keyboard colleagues as well!
