- Implementation Intention: My 15 minutes of practice will happen around 8:30 on weekdays and 2 sessions on Saturday one around 11:00 - 12:00 the other around 8:00. Sunday as I have a lesson I will have a break. - Biggest Roadblock: Will be my approach which will probably fluctuate. I will come to love the sound of the metronome.

Sorry to hear that! Hope listening to the recording helps. Out of interest, what made it feel like it wasn't a good practice session?
Week 1 content delay
Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that the week 1 content is delayed due to technical issues with uploading videos to the course pages. I'm getting this fixed as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience!

Keeping Committed to Practice
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for keeping committed to regular practice? I preach about it often to my students, and always feel inspired by their progress but can never get as far as even getting one session of practice in per week…

@Mithesha Mageswaran Another thing you can do is commit to only 5 minutes a day (or less). Then, once you’ve completed it, you can decide whether to continue or not. 9 times out of 10, you will!

@Victoria Behier Glad to hear it!
I'm starting the 9-week fluency fast-track!
Hello everyone! This is Valeria, from Oxford! - Current Musical Goal: Get more confident on pieces that require very different melodies on each hand; being able to more quickly play music just from looking at sheet music - Biggest Frustration: Right now it's time to practice, as I'm a very busy student. - The Dream Piece: I have too many because I absolutely love piano pieces, but probably either Liszt's La Campanella or Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, 3rd movement.

Oh yes, I was going to say this earlier! The word for a piece that requires different melodies in each hand is "polyphonic". Think "poly" (multiple) "phon" (voices) "ic". Thanks for the info!

@Seamus McQuaid Really glad it was useful, Seamus! What concepts and strategies do you think you might be "overthinking"?
