Mental Play

This technique is used by some of the most piano virtuosos in the world and its also used in sports, you can use it for almost everything you wish to learn. I’ts simple, you only need to practice in your mind, if you are playing it on piano you can imagine the piano, your hands playing what you want with every single detail, when you imagine more details your brain will practice better and you will memorize better.

It sounds crazy I know, but I have read it in many books about the brain and about music, you don’t belive me? search on google and experiment by yourself. Why is it so successfull? well because the brain has a lot of power inside of you, everything is created after the brain, the music first needs to be originated in the mind, it will not play wrong, and when it does not play wrong it will memorize the song or the exercise without mistakes.

It is also has de advantage of letting you practice without the instruments, anywhere you want, when you are waiting in line, when you are far away on vacations etc. After your mind has learned the song or the exercise without mistakes, it will be far easier to play it, the coordination between brain and hands will be easier, just try it out a few times and you will see
