    Hi Stephan – sorry for the delay! The one thought I had, which might help to address some of your concerns, is to try doing this through headphones, while recording yourself on a separate device. Playing with a recording can be a great tool, but you’re right that it can obscure a little bit what we actually sound like, so if you’re recording yourself on a separate device, you can listen back to see what might be happening. Perhaps you’ve already tried this?

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.
