Скачать или смотреть Mistake? Don't stop! | Fun practice room exercise + guided relaxation for musicians

Do you stop every time you make a mistake in your music practice? It’s a common habit for musicians, but it can make practicing stressful and even increase performance anxiety.

In today’s video, I’ll show you a simple exercise (originally taught to kids with candy!) that helps you practice playing through mistakes without stopping. You’ll learn how to adapt this for your own music practice so you can feel more confident and secure, whether you’re rehearsing at home or preparing for performance.

You’ll also get a relaxation exercise at the end to help release tension and feel calmer about mistakes in your music.
