Your tip on breaking down music pieces into crumbles helped me a lot. I used to go back at the beginning when I did something wrong. Now I'll use this one too

😅😅

This is awesome. I just posted your video on Linked in.

Good to see you following your own advice at about 4:40 mins 😅

1.Make sure you play things right when you play them. Break things into smaller chunks, slower than usual. 2. Focus on the parts that actually need work. 3. Make sure you engage with the material. 4. Be clear on where you are headed.

Thanks very much, Mark. Very practical

I really enjoy the way you break this down. Your videos are super helpful.

The correct way to do this to get actual results is to breathe in fully through the nose until you’ve met your lung capacity, then take another quick breath in. Very very slow release of the air replenishes axon clusters of receptors to assist in cognition

9 am PST 9/23. It does, in fact, make practice motivating and positive when I have a clear plan for the day. Thanks.

Very timely, as I am just about to review and lightly edit a live 25 minute solo set; now I can get added benefit. Thanks Mark

Thank you my son is having performance anxiety for his football game and this made him feel better

tysm! i have basketball tryouts tomorrow morning, so i definitely needed this tactic!

Spot on Mark thanks very much.

What more does your course offer that isn't said in this video?

Thanks very much for a really helpful tutorial, I've liked and subscribed.

I'm taking a **** whole watching I don't feel like inhaling

Really useful Mark, as are all your classes. But you should say who the researchers were and give a proper reference to the research you're using so other people can find it. Thanks

Helpful.

Great Mark, I will follow what youfounf out, I am actually almost in it

flow: thinks seem slower, less pressured.

Is learning to play a new song regarded as being a challenge?

Good advice Mark. Thank you. 😎

I think, for this one, I find great rewards each time I practice. Whether it is due to my success, or just having practiced, I usually feel those dopamines of pleasure kick in.

Hey Mark great video, great tip. I've given it a LIKE........but I won't do that every time.......just to not overload your Dopamine 😁. keep up the good work. just started Practice multiplier!! 👍👍👍

Everything

Best explained and surrounded with insightful tips! Your signature, but I still not seeing it coming most times. Nice surprises!

I used to record my playing one out of every two weeks to get feedback from my teacher, and I do it now also for myself. But each time I fall in an otherwise very unprobable sequence of false starts and discarded half takes. This is the first time I find that's a profitable situation, instead of a problematic one in which I need to heal my attitude towards (or, in other words, this is my first hint on how to address this, by taking all this in a positive way). Thanks!

That was really helpful. Thank you. (I'm glad I subscribed)

Great tips and I recognize all of them. Since my retirement I have all the time to practice. Almost every day and my instrument is all set up to get going immediately without hindering anyone. The most valuable tip for me it to break “the project” into small pieces, chunks as Mark calls them. What I did not hear in this video (I hope I did not miss it), is to get it in your head first. That insight helped me a lot.

It works.

Mark, how does this work when you are a live guitarist that is shredding leads to big crowds? I feel like if i looked at the crowd; I would lose it even more. Can you give an example of how you would do this while on stage holding your guitar?

The thing is this - for me - I once played a week with a former Jazz Messenger - who assumed that I knew all that repertoire. I didn’t. It’s a ‘niche’ repertoire too. I was embarrassed by my playing. And I grew to hate him. He never ‘accommodated’ me at all. I struggled but I made it eventually. A huge learning curve for me. He was a b*****d. A very well known messenger.

Monk will forever remain a ‘mystique’. Never truly understood - yet such a pivotal giant in bebop music. Not all players liked him necessarily. Miles for instance . . . .

You’re wrong. Mark knows what he’s talking about.

i hate putting pressure on myself and reacting negatively. it takes away the fun. what i do is play music i make or learn to play a cover of a song i like. when im learning it it's fun. but when i go to record it all of a sudden there's tension like ok NOW WERE RECORDING DON'T screw up. and it clouds my mind. i'm not fully there like wheni was ok with making mistakes. i need to implement the mindset of okness when im not recording to when i am. thanks u made alot of sense.

In addition to your tips…I find it helpful to turn off my phone, close the door to my practice room and focus for 20 min solid time on the timer (as you recommend)

Nice advice. I already do all of these things here and it was nice to hear you confirm that my practice sessions are efficient. Thank you for this.

I'm very shy as a soloist but I've found that collaborating with others really brings me out of my shell. It's such a beautiful experience when music is communal, and when musicians collaborate well.

Do you have a video on how to fix the spasms caused by central nervous system and adhesives scarring in the arachnoid membrane?

Saw this in Andrew huberman podcast,❤

Wish it was more than just an ad

My pianist friend shared that she rewarded herself for memorizing a few measures at a time by pouring M&Ms out onto the piano top. She popped a couple each time she was successful. That was in 1963 as a 12 year old, prior to any knowledge about reinforcement.

Long time, no post! Can we expect more content in the near future?

Flow. 😃

Glad I rediscovered this video. I tried it out yesterday, using this idea after each "minitask" on my daily list, and got lots of stuff done. To make it interesting, I used "Wheel Decide" to make a spinner that randomly selects between 6 choices... 3 are in the "no rewards" side (1. nothing, 2. do 10 squats, 3. spend 3 mins tidying up) and 3 are on the reward side (1. watch something on my RUclips queue, 2. have a cup of tea/coffee, 3. venture into the cursed lands of Twitter). Might change the last one about Twitter as it's not that compelling. Anyway it might be partly placebo effect, but I found it fun, and ended up doing more work than expected (I kept rolling "nothing", and really wanted a cup of tea).

Ty. I do private singing lessons and I have a show tmrw this is exactly why I need?!
