Practice Technique, Thanks to Ben Options

[Opetholic]

Hello GMCers,

I want to share with you a practice technique that I learned from Ben during one of his video chat lessons. It sounds very trivial and very natural but I had never done it before. Once I started using this technique new avenues opened for me and I started breaking my speed barriers. So I want to share it with you because now I am very enthusiastic about this technique and also want to thank Ben for teaching this to us:

Suppose you are working on an exercise and you are at a speed you are not comfortable with. Instead of trying the whole passage at that tempo or going back in speed (assuming at lower speeds you have no problems), work on little bursts. Take say the first couple of notes and play them at that tempo. And then the next few notes after a break. Eventually once you get the muscle memory it all fits together and you can combine it all..

It sounds extremely trivial I know but it helped me so much improving my speed.. Have it a go with your routines

Cheers,
O.
