Dr. Molly Gebrian joins me to unpack how the brain actually learns music and share simple, science-backed practice strategies teachers can use to help students make real progress.

Dr. Molly Gebrian and I dive into how to help students shift from practice mode to performance mode with brain-based strategies, mental practice, and fun readiness games that make recital prep calmer and more effective.

I share reflections from my studio’s practice workshop and the OhioMTA conference, exploring how teachers can guide students toward realistic, confidence-building practice habits that actually stick.
