138 How to Prepare for Practice - Gear Up for Fall 22 Part 3

Welcome to Gear Up for Fall 22, a special series of five episodes that brings you everything you need to gear up for an amazing new season of music-making! We cover everything from setting goals to getting you set up for success by helping build your amazing practice regimen.   PART 3 - Priming Power In this episode I share my favorite tips about a powerful ritual that can transform the results you get in the practice room: PRIMING. When we're priming, we prepare the body and mind to be fully engaged and productive. By setting up a priming ritual before a practice session, you can significantly affect your level of presence and focus.  The pay off?  Get more results during your practice. A total game changer! (I also squeeze in a little gift at the end: my priming guided visualization exercise!)
