The wonderful Dr Molly Gebrian is sticking around for part two of her chat with Alexa Terry on the science of learning and practising, this week in Ep.165, telling us all about practice habits, the memory, mental practice and much more. She highlights the importance of mental practice, shares resources, and talks about her upcoming book and career transition to focus on research translation for musicians. Tune in for valuable insights on optimising practice habits.
BEST MOMENTS
"Telling students to practise more is not helpful because it doesn't tell you what to do."
"Your brain doesn't know right from wrong. It doesn't know if you did it well or you didn't do well. It just knows which pathways are being used."
"Taking breaks will actually make me more efficient at something"

ABOUT THE GUEST
Dr. Molly Gebrian is a professional violist and scholar with a background in cognitive neuroscience. Her area of expertise is applying the research on learning and memory to practicing and performing music. She also investigates the intersections between music and language. As a performer, she prioritizes the works of living composers and those who have traditionally been excluded from the culture of classical music. She holds degrees in both music and neuroscience from Oberlin College and Conservatory, New England Conservatory of Music, and Rice University. Previously, she was the viola professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and the University of Arizona. After a decade of teaching viola at the collegiate level, she will join the faculty at New England Conservatory of Music in Fall 2024 to teach courses on the science of practicing.

"The BAST course has given me so much confidence to be able to share knowledge and understanding about the voice, as well as helping me to gain a greater understanding of what being a teacher actually entails.” Danny Gortler, UK
“The BAST course was exactly what I was looking for and has been a tremendous help, not only in giving me the tools and confidence to teach, but it has also helped my own singing! I’m now getting comments at my gigs that I’m singing better than ever. Win-win! I’m now a vocal nerd in the making!” Nat Ripepi, Aust
“The BAST course gave an incredibly thorough overview of effective, healthy methods of improving a student’s singing ability. I really enjoyed better understanding the mechanism of sound production, and learning how to assess and problem solve in a very responsible, appropriate and practical way!” Rändi Fay, USA
