Art of Practicing

0-3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Instrumental technique and musical mastery go hand-in-hand for musicians. Acquisition and automation of fine motor skills require strategic neural and behavioral conditions. We will discover how different mind-body phenomena relate to instrumental technique and musical creation, in both personal and collaborative practice settings. Your musical development becomes a class topic as we develop our individual instrumental practice, This process leads to a richer musical experience. Students are encouraged to make time for individual practice sessions during this three week module.
