A few easily incorporated practice strategies can greatly increase progress and make practicing more efficient. This presentation will delve into fascinating research on how the brain learns and how this relates to music and practicing. Offering innovative and practical advice\, topics discussed will include organization\, spacing\, the effectiveness of interleaved (random) repetition\, first-time retrieval strategies\, performance preparation\, and common practice mistakes. With strategies to overcome the challenge of getting started\, making improvement that sticks\, staying focused\, and planning the next session\, this presentation will suggest ideas that can make practice rewarding and effective. Strategic practice techniques create transformative changes\, which can be seen in overall progress as well as in performing comfort and success.[/expand]
