Episode 13: Practice Fundamentals #1

The Practice Project Podcast

This is Episode 13 of The Practice Project Podcast from nkoda, with more insights into effective music practice. As Part 1 of a double-bill, this episode introduces the teachings of Chuan Chang, the author of ‘Fundamentals of Piano Practice’ (2007).
Hosts Bethany and Riki cover six piano practice techniques from Chang's book, which are equally applicable to other instruments. Among other things, they discuss the power of listening before practicing, the structural analysis of your music, tackling and segmenting difficult sections, and achieving continuity during practice.
Each technique is given context, and with clear takeaways, this is a must-listen for any music student, teacher, or professional wanting practical guidance on optimising their practice. Don't miss this exploration of Chang’s practice methods, and stay tuned for Part 2 in the next episode.
