Really thank you for the feedback, it wasn’t letting me post this video at first, but I was able to after logging out and back into my account. The deliberate practice video was too big (158mb) to post here so that’s why I sent it to your email, if you haven’t gotten it what other way can I share it?
1. Yea I wasn’t really thinking about overlearning reps at all, I just played it until it felt reasonably good and moved on. Would you recommend I keep track of each rep? What’s a good way to keep track of each rep? I’ll test to see what number of overlearning reps feels good but what should I have in mind before each overlearning rep? Should I think of the feel, sound of the correct rep or both?
2. I had done backwards chaining on this part around a week ago and just left it. I usually do make sure to do it both ways. In this particular case though the first couple of notes I chain are good, but when I finish chaining that beat, it sounds about the same as after forward chaining.
3. You’re right I wasn’t thinking about the phrase really, more the notes and fingers. In the deliberate practice video I did try leaning/ emphasizing one note of the chain so it can speak better, but yes I think I should think about the phrase more when chaining.
4. I recorded the deliberate practice video right after this one and I tried solving some of the issues of this passage that I heard in the chaining. I think a problem that I have is my idea of “perfect” when it’s one of the first times chaining, because from what I infer in Rob Knopper’s video is that it should be concert ready perfect after chaining (of course he’s a professional and at his level he can do that). So how should I define perfect/ know when I’ve reached the limit of how “concert ready” a relatively new passage can sound now, but without learning mistakes/ creating bad habits that I’ll have to fix later?
