Get a taste of our new practice course!

Dear Fellow Musician and/or Music Educator, 

I heartily invite you to attend one or both of 2 free preview events for our upcoming course on healthy practicing. 

This new 6-week online course will teach you about the accelerated learning strategies of expert musicians (via the Deliberate Practice approach) combined with the health-promoting principles of the Alexander Technique. 

The idea with these 2 preview events is to help you decide if you want to invest in the course.

Here's what we'll be doing in these 2 events...

Preview Class Overview

Thursday, January 2nd @ 1-2pm central/2-3pm eastern

• Whole body warm-up activity
• Finding your larger “Why” in practicing (and why that matters so much)
• Meta-Practicing – identifying your practice values and priorities
• Deliberate Practice – a brief introduction to the gold standard of skill acquisition
• The 4 RITE Fundamentals of Music – identifying strengths and weaknesses in rhythm, intonation, tone and expression
• How to design and plan an effective practice session
• The 3-Part Alexander Practice Process – skill, intention, idea
• The complete details of the course curriculum, structure and tuition

A recording of the preview class will be available for a limited time. 

Practice Session Overview

Friday, January 3rd @ 1-2pm central/2-3pm eastern

We'll start this session by having everyone briefly share their practice intentions to the group. Then we'll go off practice on our own for 45 minutes (I will offer an optional framework to structure your practice time). Finally, we'll come back as a group in the last 10 minutes and report on and celebrate our progress. We've been doing these open group practice sessions (which we call Flex Time Sessions) for the past few months in the MBMS Academy and people have found them really valuable. 

Hope to see you there!
