Regarding scheduling this into your summer, my recommendation would be to think of each lesson as a 2-week cycle, where you spend some time every day reading/listening and working some of the exercises into your practice routine, but where the 2-week period is geared towards a recorded performance where you test out the skills you’ve developed (either for yourself or where you invite a friend or colleague or two to increase the pressure a bit). Doesn’t have to be a full-length recital or anything like that – just a movement or two or 10 minutes of whatever you are working on but very much in performance mode.
Some lessons will be less involved than others, but this way there’s a natural ebb and flow to how much work you’re putting in. It means you probably won’t take up the full 15 weeks, but you’ll have 7 performance simulations over the course of the summer (8 if you include the baseline performance before taking the PSI).
