Oclef Daily: EP71 - Predictability Problems

Easily one of the most common mistakes of students and parents is
the topic of today's podcast - predictability. If students have
the same predictable practice habits of playing their music
pieces over and over from beginning to the end, recitals don't go
so well. A recital performance is simply a mental "storm"
and the music is a structure in the child's mind. They must
develop the structure and foundation, preparing it by utilizing a
diverse set of strategies, or the likelihood of it going well is
very low. It may go well, but it probably will not. So if your
children or students have recently completed a recital and are
not happy with the result this episode is for them. Share it with
them.
