  • Pre-Performance Apathy (and the Importance of Mentally Disengaging From Practice)
    There's a famous quote attributed to Heifetz (or any number of different folks) - that if I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.So does that mean that we can't afford to take any days off, if we're truly serious about our craft? And what does it mean if we start to feel burned out and stale?Well...it could be my imagination, but I swear I once saw a video in which Heifetz said that he always took one day off from practicing a week. And I've heard a number of well-known musicians encourage students to take a day, or at least 24 hours off every week. So maybe it doesn't have to be "all gas, no brakes?"Get all the nerdy details here:Pre-Performance Apathy (and the Importance of Mentally Disengaging From Practice)* * *Have you ever wondered why it is exactly that things often sound better at home than they do on stage?

  • Your Brain Isn’t Built for Consistency - Here’s How to Make That Work for You
    Ever wonder why it's so difficult to do the same thing twice, in exactly the same way?Like the same exact crescendo or the same exact speed of vibrato?Do we just need to practice more? Or is there something else involved?Turns out our brain isn't wired for this kind of consistency. But that's actually a good thing! And it has some interesting implications on how we ought to approach practicing too.Get all the nerdy details here:Your Brain Isn’t Built for Consistency - Here’s How to Make That Work for You* * *Have you ever wondered why it is exactly that things often sound better at home than they do on stage?

  • Mitch Abrams: On Trauma and High-Level Performance
    I think the last couple decades have seen a growing change in the music community, where there's a greater openness to talking about nerves and certain mental health struggles. But one area that isn't yet being talked about so much is trauma.What is trauma? What "counts" and what doesn't? How does this happen? How does it affect us? How can we know if a student has experienced trauma? Could we unintentionally (and unknowingly) be causing trauma?To better understand trauma and its intersection with performance, I spoke with Dr. Mitch Abrams - a forensic and sport psychologist who shares insights on how trauma shows up, and what steps we can begin to take towards healing.Get a full transcript and all the nerdy details here:Mitch Abrams: On Trauma and High-Level Performance* * *Have you ever wondered why it is exactly that things often sound better at home than they do on stage?

  • Reward vs. Punishment: Which Leads to Faster Learning?
    When it comes to motivating students, musicians, or even ourselves, we all wonder: is it better to reward effort — or call out mistakes? It turns out, both approaches can work… but they lead to very different kinds of learning.Get all the nerdy details here:Reward vs. Punishment: Which Leads to Faster Learning?* * *Have you ever wondered why it is exactly that things often sound better at home than they do on stage?

  • One Way Parents Can Help Their Kids Be Less Anxious
    It's hard to be a parent and not worry about one's kids. Especially when it comes to public performances, competitions, or auditions, whether big or small.But doesn't it feel like sometimes a parents' worry is contagious? Where their stress or worry rubs off on their child, and the kid starts worrying or feeling more pressure as the performance approaches too?The answer is not to tell your students' parents to chill out and stop worrying, of course. Because that's not likely to happen no matter what you say! 😅But the research suggests that there are better or more productive ways to worry. So if a parent is going to worry, they might as well worry the right way.Wait...what? There are better and worse ways to worry?Get all the nerdy details in today's episode.
