There is a caveat to this technique. First of all it works, and it's effective if you approach it the right way. Secondly, you can't do it in your sleep. It requires conscious effort and visualizaton, not dreaming you're playing. Lastly, you must already have some of the muscle memory you're trying to practice. A very long time ago, in a high school far far away, I took one semester of "introduction to typing". We learned on an IBM selectric with blank keys, and I was terrible. At the end of the semester, I could touch type 30WPM after corrections for mistakes. I didn't touch a keyboard again (this was in a land before everybody had a computer) for 2 years or more. But, when I was learning to touch type, I began visualizing my fingers, typing out my inner dialogue. Like cute girl walks by "She is cute" and I mentally imagine left ringfinger hitting S, right index hitting H, etc etc, and this soon became a subconscious thing I did like counting my steps. After forming this habit, just as something to do when bored, after a time I could mentally imagine typing very quickly. Well I got my first pc, some time later, and low and behold, I was touch typing over 70WPM. I had literally had no practice in years, and I was not that good to begin with. But my mind had already mapped the muscle memory for each character, from a base familiarization. After all, if you think about it, it's not the muscles that convert thoughts into letters, or notes on a page into the idea of music in the air, it's the brain, and the brain can learn without doing.

Yes, this exactly. I’ve found this method works beautifully with learning the notes for piano. As long as I’ve already felt the way my hands feel playing the notes, I can mentally practice just by looking at the music away from the keyboard. It works especially well with large leaps, and as a matter of fact I rely heavily on mental practice and visualization for leaps. However, it’s extremely tiring since you can’t rely on your tactile memory, and it only works with learning the notes, not with playing technique. If I want to get into the sound production itself, I must have a keyboard to play on.

I honestly do a lot of mental practice on piano throughout the day, but I rarely ever visualize (because I'm terrible at visualizing in general). I "hear" the piece in my head and sometimes act it out with my fingers, but I mostly use it as a tool to figure out what I want to express with the piece. Most technical difficulties I have to iron out on the piano, except for things like fingerings which I can figure out mentally. But for me it REALLY helps me figure out the expression I want in a piece, with articulation, dynamics, voicing and such. I've seen videos of Glenn Gould practicing, and sometimes he would actually get up from the piano and go look at the score and sing to himself.

I've done a lot of mental practice, and I think it works especially well for fast passages - the difficulty in these passages stems from your brain not being able to keep up with your fingers, so training your brain to be quicker will in turn help you massively when you add physically moving your fingers back into the equation. I also use it quite a bit when I'm trying to memorize a piece - I'll visualize myself fingering and bowing the piece when I'm away from my music and it'll help train me to remember how the piece goes. You guys are completely right about double stops though - mental practice won't help at all when you need to practice tuning a passage, since that is almost entirely up to where your fingers physically press on your instrument, and not whether your brain can keep up with your left hand.

actually, mental practice is most effective for sick opera singers :) i use it a lot, since the voice is a fragile instrument and cant be overly abused, and also functions on resting. Mental practice includes reading on your role, studying acting, posture, gestures and faces, reading your music, reading into the text/subtext, the relationships between the characters etc etc etc. Technique-wise, helps a lot to listen to your recorded lessons with your teacher and empathize with your own self, since studying voice goes a lot on self sensations and all that. Singers cant actually sing 40 hrs a day, we would snap our chords in half. We sing couple of hours, but the rest of the time we do have a lot of research to do. Our music may be easy to learn, but we have the extra elements of text and character which needs attention :) hope this gave some insight

I think that the most useful aspect of mental practising is that frees you from the instrument and from the risk of playing instead of practice and from the risk of playing with "automatic pilot". Personally I use it mostly for intonation and interpretation, that are the easiest part to mentally visualize, but it's very useful also to read a piece, in order to not spend a lot of practicing time trying to understand notes, position and bowing.

You can audiate, though ("hearing" the music in your imagination), which is extremely helpful because it develops your ear. I'm an adult amateur musician, and I don't have the time to practice multiple hours per day like professionals do (or like I used to when I was in high school/college). Time spent thinking about music -- listening to recordings while working at the computer, doing some score reading in idle moments at the day job -- is a useful addition to physical practice because it can help you memorize or just know the piece better and be more sure of what you're doing.

Mental practise is much more than that. Once you get used to it, you can learn most of orchestra literature by just looking at it carefully, listening to recordings and doing the fingerings without the instrument and you'll need about another 20 mins with the instrument and you're set. It's all about how far your imagination can go. And for pieces that you actually have the time to practise a lot, it greatly increases your consistency with the piece.

I can say, "mental practicing" is what advanced players do automatically. Thinking about what you play and how you play is crucial to play well. However, with experience this thinking becomes an intuition and practicing with instrument in hand is simply more time-efficient than physcial AND mental practicing one by one.

mental practice makes perfect sense with something like music, but it makes no sense that it could help or work with a task like shooting basketball free throws, a task that is so heavily dependent on real time feedback based on mental guess work of how much physical power equals how much distance. Mental "practice" should only help with improving and solidifying CONCEPTUAL concepts about the music, IE MEMORIZING it, how the dynamics, the phrasing, the structure SHOULD sound, but it should not at all ever help or improve or replace the physical act of actually practice PERFORMING the piece, and excerpts

that said, there ARE conceptual gains to be had that probably are perceived to be physical gains, but it's all conceptual things. Specifically, fingering, how to approach the fingering, and all the other muscles of your body in play. It's never going to actually improve your ability to physically get the instrument to produce the sound you want, but it actually sort of WILL but in a false way only because you have more free mental energy to focus on it, instead of needing to simultaneously think about and confirm all your conceptual ideas about what is going on.

Believe it or not, I usually make the exact same mistakes practicing mentally as I do practicing with an instrument. For me, that proves mental practice is useful. I do notice being more rational and less emotionally involved when practicing mentally. I think it's because of the absence of real-time sonic and kinesthetic feedback. In that way it might actually provide a different angle and a good addition to regular practice. However, I think you are right about the physical aspect: after a lesson, I write down what I need to work on but also make sure to reiterate all the motions discussed. Those complex motorical choices are not easy to visualize. Fingering is something I've gotten better at conceptualizing, but I still often overestimate my hands. In short, mental practice is very useful to learn, especially if you don't always have time to practice (and even looking through the piece mentally completely before 'sightreading' qualifies). But regular practice is ultimately the best. For more info on practicing, I would recommend reading The Bulletproof Musician - it's a blog that discusses such issues. And there's also a huge amount of books out there...

Well, you have to visualize before you play, it probably can help, but it's no substitute for physical practice. Good thing to do when you don't have an instrument but you have nothing else to do, sitting on a bus or in traffic, etc

Mental practice absolutely works as long as you are already experienced in what you're doing, and I could argue that it also has effectiveness to a degree even if you have never done something before. My most notable experiences with mental practice would be those in which I had not done something in a long time, like play the piano or a video game, but I had thought a lot about it before getting back into it such that when I finally do, I feel at least as good if not better than I was the last time i did it.

Mental practising is a good thing but it's not enough. And actually I think that it is even harder than actual practising. The thing is mental practicing helps really much with nervosity on the stage. You just imagine you're playing the piece on the stage, of course you have to close your eyes and have a good imagination. You have to feel it, you have to do everything you normally do on stage (in that "dream"). You repeat doing that until you feel comfortable on the stage (in your head). Than you play on the real stage and there is no nervosity, you are prepared for that situation, you have been there before. I absolutely recommend this exercise. It helps me a lot.. But okey, I know its not what mental practising mean, but its kind of connected with it..

Can you mentally practice while practicing physically. Would it mean that you could make double improvements in same time? XD

I think mental practice is just a part of practice nobody pays attention to. Thinking about what you are doing wrong and what you could do wrong does help you improve, even if you aren't practising. (A non-musician's opinion)

From experience: It definitely helps if you have a problem with something (like a certain fingering) and you do it slowly in your head first and then you do it on your instrument. Because without the instrument and the need to intonate a tone you have one less thing to concentrate on.

You can't build muscle memory or strength through non physical practice. As a harp player I have to shake my freaking hand for an hour a day to work on my vibrato, but I think about songs while I do this

I think it can be useful for two reasons. One is making use of your time when you don't have access to your instrument, for example on the train as you guys mentioned. The other thing is I think it can be a useful practice to sometimes give that unsplit focus to just reading and thinking about the music, the phrasing and how to carry it out, without having to also focus on physically carrying it out in that same moment.

I do think "real" mental practice as in, really focusing on what you're thinking as in you're doing it works, partially. But, you won't acquire muscle memory that way. And there is also the prerequisit that you have *some* level, or abilities already. Because for exemple, a non violinist could mental practice for hour the violin without getting anywhere. You have to have a sense of what you're doing i think.

Mental practice. Listen to the music and reading the score and doing the bow and the fingering in your head, is that metal practicing? That’s what I do in a bus, train or on an airplane. That definitely helps. Or just have the music as background when working in the kitchen or even as background when you are sleeping.....

The real question is, if mental practice works learning the notes for a new piece of music, does it also work for practicing a piece you already know the notes for?
@winifredfay9229
5 жыл бұрын
FurAn'Rabbits It’s my personal belief that it’s even better for a piece you already know, because you have muscles memory to work with and you have memories of playing the piece that you can now solidify with mental practice. Approaching a totally new piece, you only have your memories of playing the violin in general, rather than playing that particular piece to work with when practicing. If that makes sense.

I’d really like to see more of you guys playing. I love the jokes and comedy and commentary on stuff, but I know I’ll never be able to see you guys live and we see only a few glimpses now and then of you guys actually playing seriously, and it sucks because you’re so talented. I found you guys when I started playing the violin again after 16 years away from it, so you’re quite the inspiration to me.
