    Interesting question. Yeah, I think one way to approach this would be to do reverse chaining from the end of the passage up until that tricky interval. And then you could do some deliberate practice to see if you can figure out the solution to that interval (even if you can’t get it perfect). And then you could do the inside-out chaining, where you start with that tricky interval, and then add the note after, add the note before, after, before, and work a few notes in each direction, and then try to then play the whole chunk altogether, because you’ve already chained the first few beats, and the last few beats, so there’s no reason to have to re=chain the whole thing one note at a time. Does that make sense?

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.
