    Hi Mick,

    Yep, I’ve heard of this device too. And I agree that it totally sounds too good to be true, though it’d be pretty cool if it really did work.

    I think the short answer is that it’s too early to tell. We just don’t have enough data be able to gauge if all of this is just plausible, or if it really is possible to enhance learning in this way through such a device. This article I think best sums up where we are probably at with this device.

    (For others who may be unfamiliar with this, here’s a link to one of Halo’s promo videos geared towards musicians).

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.
