Thanks for your reply, Noa – and for reminding me that the “Pulse” can be a tricky one.

Hi Noa and everyone,

Thanks for a very interesting course!

I have a question, since I also teach piano. What would be your best advice for helping music students aged 14–19 get into the Zone?

”Singing brain” and the rhythm-based attention control strategie: ”Pulse” are two of my favourites, as a teacher. What do you think about using these approaches with that age group (considering they are at different levels)? Other suggestions?


Thank you😊

Thanks for your reply, Noa. Since this is an important topic for musicians, let’s hope further studies will be made in the future.

“Most disruptive to perform well is muscle tension”…it says in modul 3

I’ve heard about this before, and I agree with the facts of course, but I’m still curious…

How was the conclusion drawn? Are there Studies or are there told experiences from musicians and teachers about muscle tension (”proven experience”)?
