Part 2 of my interview with Dr Molly Gebrian — violist, teacher and neuroscience researcher — digging deeper into the top ten scientifically based music practice tips.
If Part 1 was about how the brain learns, Part 2 is about how it remembers: what happens between practice sessions, why rest and sleep are secret weapons, and how to review material so it stays learned.
What you'll learn in Part 2
- The role of sleep and rest in consolidating what you practise
- How spacing and interleaving your practice beats cramming
- Practical ways to test yourself so skills survive under pressure
Catch up on Part 1, or jump ahead to Part 3.
