Ignasi Cambra: On Learning, Memorizing, and Interpreting Music 45:35

1d ago45:35

45:35

I never got all that serious about playing the piano, but I did take lessons for a number of years and remember the many challenges I ran into as the number and density of black dots on the page increased. Mostly I remember how dependent I was on my vision. On the violin, I didn’t look at my fingers or music much at all. But on the piano, I was con…

Notes First or Music First? Which Leads to Better Performance? 7:41

9d ago7:41

7:41

Whether learning a new sport or playing an instrument, traditionally, we're often taught to start by building up some fundamental skills first, before we start adding in expression. But there are others who argue that we should start with expression from the very beginning, rather than waiting. Who's right? Which ultimately leads to better performa…

How to Unlock Your Students’ Hidden Practice Abilities 7:56

23d ago7:56

7:56

Ineffective practice can be discouraging on so many levels. For one, practicing for time or repetitions is not much fun. And negative practice experiences can make students want to avoid practicing, or assume that they aren't very talented when improvement is slow or inconsistent. But what if your students were already more savvy and capable practi…

A Comparison of Three Approaches to Teaching Expressiveness 8:35

1M ago8:35

8:35

We learned last week that having more to say expressively with the music we’re playing could increase the likelihood of experiencing more flow states in performance (here, in case you missed it). But this study looked at a bunch of different strategies and classes that were spread out over 6 months. Are there faster ways to help students play more …

The Overlooked Skill That Could Make Performing More Enjoyable 7:58

1M ago7:58

7:58

You know those really good days on stage? Where you’re totally present and in the moment, at one with your instrument, locked in on the music, not worried at all about what anyone might think, and just have this feeling that everything is going to work out, because playing just feels so easy and effortless? Would be nice if we could have more of th…

How Do Effective Practicers Make the Most of Their Practice Time? 9:36

2M ago9:36

9:36

Effective practicers tend to be more motivated, empowered, and persistent, whereas less effective practicers tend to feel more helpless and lower self-efficacy. But what do they actually do differently? One of the big differences between better and worse practicers in a 2021 study was the time spent in "non-playing" practice activities. Like, those…

Do We Unconsciously Favor Talent Over Effort? 12:01

12:01

You're probably heard the quote "Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration." But what do you think? Both play some role of course, but which do you think is more important for achieving success - innate ability or effortful training? What would you say if I said that you might be fooling yourself? Where even if you think that you …

We did it! After a long, slow descent into Christian music-induced madness, we've finally found where the sea floor drops off into oblivion thanks to an album so aggressively dull, so devoid of anything resembling intrigue or artistic value, that it’s left us staring into the yawning void of our own psychosis. Congratulations to Christian music’s c…

Pre-Performance Apathy (and the Importance of Mentally Disengaging From Practice) 8:02

There's a famous quote attributed to Heifetz (or any number of different folks) - that if I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it. So does that mean that we can't afford to take any days off, if we're truly serious about our craft? And what does it mean if we start to feel burned out and s…

Your Brain Isn’t Built for Consistency - Here’s How to Make That Work for You 9:31

3M ago9:31

9:31

Ever wonder why it's so difficult to do the same thing twice, in exactly the same way? Like the same exact crescendo or the same exact speed of vibrato? Do we just need to practice more? Or is there something else involved? Turns out our brain isn't wired for this kind of consistency. But that's actually a good thing! And it has some interesting im…

Mitch Abrams: On Trauma and High-Level Performance 1:09:42

1:09:42

I think the last couple decades have seen a growing change in the music community, where there's a greater openness to talking about nerves and certain mental health struggles. But one area that isn't yet being talked about so much is trauma. What is trauma? What "counts" and what doesn't? How does this happen? How does it affect us? How can we kno…
