Top practice tips No.3 - Slow down and do it again Top practice tips No.3 - Slow down and do it again

There’s a lot to be gained from treating yourself like a toddler. Don’t assume you’re smart enough to absorb new information on the first pass (or even the 50th). 

Slow down and do it again. You’ll feel the benefit later on.

Top practice tips No.1 - Make it smaller This is Top practice tips No.1 - Make it smaller

This is probably the second most common piece of advice I give to students (right after ‘be nice to yourself’)

If something is hard to learn, then can you make it so small that it becomes easy? If you can’t get through a whole bar, can you get the hang of just beat 1? 

Small wins build confidence and lead to consistent progress.
