    Yes, would love to hear about the March workshop and I’ve also received some information from Molly Gebrian, who was very gracious in our email exchange. For sure, habits must be a good thing, though they can also be non-helpful. I’ve tried to do a quick mental run-through after turning on the recording in the moments before playing. Perhaps I should try a more comprehensive visualization.

    An (not so odd) thing I discovered: if I’m having trouble playing a passage well, I can watch a YouTube video of Gil Shaham and emulate his work to my advantage. It will often quickly get me though a passage where I was previously stuck. A sort of quick paradigm shift when I’m barking up the wrong tree. Now all I need is a pair of those Google glasses so I can watch Gil play just before my downbeat LOL.

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.
