Listen "A Better Way to Do Mental Practice?"
Episode Synopsis
The use of mental practice or mental imagery to enhance learning and performance is extremely common amongst athletes in sports. And it’s something that musicians like Horowitz, Rubinstein, Glenn Gould, and learners at all levels have been known to use in music as well.But I’ve had students and professional musicians alike tell me that they sometimes have difficulty making the imagery feel real. Or that they have difficulty staying engaged with it. As in, one minute they’re visualizing some music, and the next, their mind has drifted off to food. Or they fall asleep. 🤣Could there be a better way to do visualization?Get all the nerdy details and study links here:A Better Way to Do Mental Practice?More from The Bulletproof Musician Get the free weekly newsletter, for more nerdy details and bonus subscriber-only content.
