Hey Teacher Friend,
Have you ever had one of those students who swears they practiced all week, but when they sit down at the piano it sounds exactly the same as last time?
I am pretty sure we have all been there. More than once.
This week’s podcast episode might be the one that helps us finally understand why.
I sat down with Dr. Molly Gebrian, violist and cognitive neuroscientist, to talk about the brain science behind music learning and her book, Learn Faster, Perform Better.
Psst...you can get her book here (and yes, this is an affiliate link)
We cover what actually happens when students practice, why progress sometimes stalls, and how small changes in structure can make a big difference. It’s one of those episodes that will change how you think about practice in your studio.

Speaking of Dr. Molly Gebrian's book...
I’m so excited to invite you to a free Lunch and Learn hosted by my friend Ashley Danyew from Musician & Co.
We’ll be diving into Molly’s book Learn Faster, Perform Better and exploring how to apply brain-based learning strategies in your own studio.
Did I mention that you should absolutely have this book? Because I am telling you again, every musician should have this book.
We would love to see you there!
Register Here for the Lunch & Learn: Practicing Workshop
I just opened up a limited number of consultation spots for the next two weeks.
For the next 48 hours, my usual $99 session rate is discounted to $79, first come, first served, using code 48HOUR.
If you’ve been wanting one-on-one help building systems, planning groups, revising your schedule for the craziness, or really anything related to your studio business, this is the perfect time to grab a spot.
Lastly, I want to give a quick thank-you to the Indiana Music Teachers Association for having me at their state conference last week to share my session, Teach Solo, Play Together.
It was such a joy to connect with so many teachers and talk about creative ways to bring private students together.
As always, thank you for being here, for teaching with heart, and for continuing to learn right alongside your students.
With my pecan cortado in hand, I wish you a fabulous week!
Jaci
