Ever feel stuck in your practicing? Let's use the power of mindset shifts to dismantle that! Join me as we embark on a journey to explore the power of constructive self-dialogue and how it can revolutionise your practice sessions. This episode takes a deep dive into the importance of acknowledging your efforts, no matter how small they might seem, and how positive self-talk can fuel your progress. I'll share three transformative mindset shifts that will empower you and your practicing.

Ever listened to a recording of your performance and cringed? Well, it's time to reframe that experience! Gleaning insights from the brilliant Professor Titus Underwood, I'll guide you through the process of objectively assessing your performances, stripping away the emotional baggage that often clouds our judgment. More than pushing and perfecting, we'll shed light on the often overlooked aspect of practice - rest. We tend to ignore our bodies' cries for rest, but especially as musicians, rest is crucial to our progress. Let's redefine productivity in practice - from objective reflection to restful rejuvenation.
