One of the things I love about teaching is that we can draw on many disciplines to make our work better—art, psychology, learning theories, and even neuroscience. Recently, I’ve been reading about what brain research can tell us about practicing and how we learn, and it’s fascinating.
Welcome back to our 2-part series on practicing.
In part 1, we talked about the art of practicing. I shared what I’m learning from Madeline Bruser’s book, The Art of Practicing, and how I’m carrying these concepts and strategies into my practice sessions and studio.
In this episode, part 2, we’ll explore Molly Gebrian’s book, Learn Faster, Perform Better. This book is all about the neuroscience of practicing: how we learn, process, and retain information. If you’ve been reading along with us in the Musician & Co. Book Club, you likely have some insights of your own, but I wanted to share what stood out to me and how it’s impacting my practicing and my teaching.

088 - The Art of Practicing: What I’m Learning from Madeline Bruser’s Book
This fall, I read two books about practicing: The first is Madeline Bruser’s, "The Art of Practicing: A Guide to Making Music from the Heart." The second is Molly Gebrian’s 2024 release, "Learn Faster, Perform Better: A Musician's Guide to the Neuroscience of Practicing."
Art and science. Because practicing requires both.
This is part 1 of a 2-part series about practicing and what I’m learning and applying from both books.
In this episode, part 1, we’ll talk about the art of practicing. I’ll share what I’m learning from Madeline Bruser’s book and how I’m carrying these concepts and strategies into my practice sessions and studio.
