    Hi Liesbeth,

    There was a study of singers which found that generally speaking, focusing on filling the hall with sound led to better sound and performance than focusing on things that were closer to the performer (like focusing on soft palate, or a microphone in front of them, or the front row of the hall, etc.).

    I wonder if you could practice in a variety of acoustical environments, but also get into a larger space at least once to practice this sort of focus, to see how it feels for you? Even if the acoustics of the hall will likely end up being different than any hall you get into for practice purposes?

    Noa

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.
