    Yes, you can certainly work on portions of different lessons at the same time as long as it doesn’t spread you too thin. As long as you have time to practice the skills on a regular basis, this should be fine.

    That being said, there are certain lessons that are more conducive to this than others. For instance, the lesson on Concentration could be paired with Focus or Energy. The Preparation lesson is another one which could be combined with the other lessons. But trying to work on both Focus and Courage at the same time, for instance, may dilute your efforts and get in the way of learning as quickly as you might. At the end of the day, your best guide is probably your own intuitive feel. If you feel a bit scattered or overwhelmed, then take it easy and simplify, but if you feel like you’re making connections between skills and your curiosity/interest/enthusiasm/energy is running high, then by all means go for it!

There's an LIVE component too! (for educators)

If you’d like to explore some of the most essential skills and techniques in the course live, with a cohort of curious, thoughtful, supportive, and like-minded educators (and a few mildly irreverent or benevolently sarcastic folks mixed in to make sure we don’t get too serious), that’s also an option!

Starting Thursday, February 3rd, we’ll meet via Zoom once a week, and go through selected strategies related to effective practice, managing nerves, and achieving flow states under pressure. We’ll do some in-class playing experiments (don’t worry – you’ll be muted!), short weekly homework assignments, and small-group breakout sessions to help you integrate these new skills into your teaching.

This 6-week live course is normally $199, but is available at 50% off the regular cost when bundled with Beyond Practicing. For more details about the live course (and dates) CLICK HERE.
