  • How to Unlock Your Students’ Hidden Practice Abilities
    Jul 13 2025

    Ineffective practice can be discouraging on so many levels. For one, practicing for time or repetitions is not much fun. And negative practice experiences can make students want to avoid practicing, or assume that they aren't very talented when improvement is slow or inconsistent.

    But what if your students were already more savvy and capable practicers than they realize? What if we just need to create the conditions for these abilities to emerge?

    Get all the nerdy details (and download the full case study) here:

  • Judy Loman: On the Best Advice For an Aspiring Harpist (or Musician)
    Jul 6 2025

    “If I didn’t have the harp, I wouldn’t be me.”

    Internationally renowned harpist Judy Loman remains an active practicer, performer, and teacher at 89 years of age - and still clearly enjoys and loves what she does.

    So how does one maintain motivation and a sense of joy in making music through life’s ups and downs, good and bad practice days, and peak and not-so-peak performances?

    In this episode, you’ll hear the five pieces of advice she would offer to an aspiring harpist (they’re applicable to singers and other musicians too), learn how to approach pieces that you might not like, and find out the two things she would do if she had only 20 minutes to practice today.

  • A Comparison of Three Approaches to Teaching Expressiveness
    Jun 29 2025

    We learned last week that having more to say expressively with the music we’re playing could increase the likelihood of experiencing more flow states in performance (here, in case you missed it). But this study looked at a bunch of different strategies and classes that were spread out over 6 months.

    Are there faster ways to help students play more expressively?

    Like, what about the sorts of things that our teachers did for us when we were students? Like demonstrating certain passages in lessons, so we’d have a clearer model to aim for (or having us listen to recordings, or encouraging us to go to concerts).

    Or using metaphors or images to help us understand the mood or character of a particular moment more clearly.

    Or simply telling us what to do - like explaining how short the dots should be, or where exactly the accelerando should start, etc.

    Well, lucky for us, a 2006 study compared these strategies to see if they worked - and if any of them was more effective than the others.
