TPTV - Arnold Jacobs: Physical Focus

Jacobs is asked if it is recommended to dedicate a certain amount of practice time focusing on physical aspects of playing. He believed it wouldn’t hurt if done in short spurts so as not to develop a physical focus in the mind. Keep the main focus on the art form and on high quality, not mechanical mediocrity. Use the psychology of motivation. As the standards increase in the brain the readout also goes up in tissue function (embouchure). The opposite is not always true. One does not need much physical strength to play or sing well. #ArnoldJacobs #JakePed
