PPP: E5 - Technique and Musicianship with Purpose

Send us Fan Mail

Topics covered in this episode:

1. Redefining technique

2. Musicianship as structural vs. supplemental

3. Teaching technique through sound

4. The role of slow practice (It's probably not what you think it is!)

5. Technical exercises with meaning

6. Technique as identity formation

Reflection Questions:

1. How do you currently define “good technique” in your teaching?
2. In what ways do your students connect physical movement with listening?
3. Which technical exercises in your studio feel most musically meaningful — and which feel habitual?
4. How might your technical instruction be shaping students’ musical identity?
