Several studies show the benefits of interspersing breaks into your practice blocks.  A 2021 publication offers a fun new way to experiment with breaks.

Here?s how you can apply this in your practice.

Listen and try at home this week:

? Practice a passage for 10-30 seconds (or for a set number of repetitions)
? Rest for 10 seconds ? breathe and release physical tension. Don?t focus on anything. Just chill and let your mind drift!
? Continue alternating practice and rest segments until you feel you?ve completed your work with the passage or the time you allotted for it is over.
? Assess your progress.
