If you’ve been practising the ‘old way’—repeating passages until your fingers hurt, only to forget everything by next week—you’re not alone. And it’s not your fault.

Most music teachers still use methods from the 1800s. But neuroscience has revolutionized how we learn. This coaching week gives you the shortcuts professionals have been using for decades.

Three live coaching sessions where I’ll walk you through the exact practice methods I use (and teach my private students and Learn Music Together members) to learn music faster, more accurately, and with genuine confidence.

Whether you’ve been learning for years or you’ve just gotten started, practising the right way means…

Many people dream of playing music well, but for some, the journey is more difficult than necessary. Even with investments in lessons, YouTube videos, and books, progress can still feel slow after hours of practice.

BUT HERE’S THE PROBLEM

➡ You already practise regularly, but you still struggle to make the desired progress.

➡ You’re making great progress one day, only to find those annoying mistakes return in the next session.

➡ You play perfectly at home, but fall apart in front of your teacher or at performances.

Your ineffective practice methods are costing you progress, time and musical enjoyment!

“But I’m [60/70/80]… Is it too late?”

Short answer: Absolutely not.

In fact, your life experience makes you an ideal student. You already know how to learn complex skills (your career, hobbies, raising a family). You just need the right practice framework.

You have to learn how to practice the right way!

Here’s the thing I see time and time again with adult learners:

We repeat things endlessly hoping they’ll improve, but we never stop to ask what’s actually causing the problem.

Just like I was recently practising on an out-of-tune piano in Brunei and wondering why nothing sounded quite right, many of us are using practice methods that work against us—and we don’t even realise it.

Through years of teaching experience and immersion in the latest neuroscience research, I developed a methodology called Play Music Better. Now as a highly sought-after adjudicator, examiner and teacher of over 25 years, I’m proud to have helped countless adult learners unlock their full potential.

You can easily avoid making errors and make more rapid progress without hours and hours of work by developing the skill of effective practice.

What You DON’T Need

❌ Hours of free time (these methods work in 15-20 min sessions)

❌ Perfect technique already

❌ To be a “natural” musician

❌ Expensive equipment

❌ To attend live (recordings available forever)

You just need: A piece you’re working on and the willingness to try a smarter approach.

Great Teacher!

THERE ARE 3 LIVE LESSONS INCLUDED

Each session builds on the previous

You’ll choose a piece to practice throughout the course of the week and implement my play music methodologies as you go. You’ll learn how to:

✅ Get off to the best start by learning what to do before you even play a note.

✅ Save time by identifying repeated sections and patterns you already know.

✅ Avoid errors by learning how to structure your practice to prevent mistakes from forming in the first place.

✅ Get the timing right with my 4-step process to rhythmic precision.

✅ Improve every time you practice by knowing the best way to retain the progress you’ve already made.

✅ Speed up your learning with practice methods that work no matter what instrument you play or what level you are at.

✅ Improve your memory with retrieval methods for long-term retention.

✅ How to find your flow so you can enjoy playing more music

✅Real demonstrations using examples from your sheet music.

By the end of the three sessions, you’ll have the knowledge, skills, and strategies you need to take your musical journey to the next level.
