    Hi Alfred,

    This mindset switch can be tough, because a good portion of practice is generally devoted to cultivating this kind of analytical mechanics-focused thinking.

    Have you gone through the lesson on focus (#4)? With the attention control strategies of audiation, pulse, and micro-improv?

    I ask because it’s really difficult to silence the analytical mind, and much easier to keep the mind so busy with something else, that there’s no bandwidth left for analytical thinking. And these three attention control strategies can be a really effective way to replace unhelpful inner dialogue with something more useful. Thereby enabling you to go for things more in a tangential way, without trying to attack it head-on.

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.
