For years I've been doing something pretty similar with my students by hocketing a melody between two of us. I've never really thought to incorporate it into my personal solo practice though. Thanks!
I just experimented with this a bit. So far it seems to work just as well (but differently) when removing *most* elements of physical play during the mental parts, rather than all of them. For example, still fingering during the gaps but not producing sound. I will continue to explore this.
Wow!! I have a few short pieces on the go that I want to try this with. The interleaved Clicking Up has radically worked with one of these pieces (though I've not gone through all of it yet), and this alongside it could be fun too!
What happened to our Sunday Compassionate Self Talk?!!? At least you said OMG I suck at this with a smile on your face 🤣 I can fathom doing a measure and skipping a measure, but this got CRAZY with beats!
Your comment gave me a good laugh! 😂Yeah, I try to never beat myself up when I can't do something, but look at it like, "How interesting that I can't do this!" and I find it amusing when something is *really* hard for me (like in this video!). :) This method is *very* hard by the beat, especially something fast like I was trying to do here!
Thanks for this question! You could apply it in a variety of ways - you could do it by the phrase (play the first phrase, imagine the next one, etc.), or by every two bars, or by the note, etc. The idea is that you are alternating between playing and imagining with some sort of regular alternation scheme, but the precise structure of alternation you use doesn't really matter all that much, so you can change it to fit the music you're playing. Hopefully this helps! :)
Looks easy enough, no problem 😊“Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it. Lemme tell ya, them gals ain't dumb. Maybe get a blister on your little finger Maybe get a blister on your thumb”

Oh, I love that idea of hocketing a melody between you and your student! I'll have to try that out sometime!
A wonderful way to develop inner hearing
Yes, absolutely!
Amazing. Love how you put yourself out there, very inspiring.
Thank you so much! :)
This might be a good method for practicing improv.
Yes, definitely!

I am a huge advocate of experimenting in the practice room, so I love that you are doing that! :)

I'm so glad interleaved clicking up worked so well for you! Yes, try this as well - it's a great challenge! :)

can you explain how to aproach this exercise when there are long notes involved?

Yeah, this one is challenging for sure! :)
