Effective Musical Practice Is much more important quantity than the quality of your practice. The practice itself is perfect if you "practice makes perfect" is only true in the old. Here are seven tips, your practice will help more effectively and efficiently. Practice slow motion Our body's muscle memory can carry out the movement patterns involved in most physical we have no conscious. As an example of muscle memory, type, bike riding, walking and playing musical instruments of course. To develop this memory must be trained in the form of repeated conscious guidance from the head muscles. You must first learn the patterns of the mind. Thereafter, the pattern of the heart muscle, "teaching" should be. You must first control the movement of the heart muscle. Precise movements are more controlled, more quickly the muscles will develop muscle memory. The mind to relax and slow practice "antagonist" can be taught. Antagonist is that it runs in the opposite direction. By relaxing the muscles of the hostile, can reduce tension and to facilitate faster and easier performance and avoid potential damage. Practice in small cells "A cell of the practice is simply" a limited series of the exercise. Music cell can correspond to anything from a few notes on the whole job. With practice, it is important to practice small cells of just a few notes on it. Limit the amount of information you need to learn to exercise the muscles at once small cells. It also facilitates the ability to concentrate the mind. The end of the cell to the beginning of the next line Rinkutsu Muscle in order to have a sense of continuity throughout a song, the last movement of the cell must first movement of the next cell. Each cell in a burst exercise Muscle patterns after learning that they will be able to run without conscious control. Command to begin a pattern of consciousness, you can do so in a burst of muscle. Do not practice mistakes If you repeat everything you need to learn the movement patterns, to change the pattern takes seven times the number of iterations. If the course of your practice, stop error. See a pattern in your mind. Further slow down your movements. Pause between iterations Deal with repetitive activity when you can focus when broken by repeated brief pause from the heart. After two or three times, pause for 30 seconds, in order to regain focus. Take frequent breaks, "Do not over-practice" BF found to be significantly reduced learning ability after prolonged intense concentration of mind Skinner and other experts. Chemical depletion can be necessary for the study of brain studies and represent (more than four hours, that is) is studying a long time. Therefore, it is best to take frequent breaks (every 20-25 minutes, rest for about 5 minutes) to take the practice is more than four hours continuously. By applying these techniques can improve dramatically the quality of your practice. You can use your time more efficiently, will be able to increase the effectiveness of your practice.
