Description
Class Experience
Students will reflect on their music practice routines, and use psychological knowledge to find ways to improve their practice routines.
I am a violinist who started to learn music as an adult, whilst working towards my PhD in Psychology. I have obtained ABRSM Grade 7 in Violin and Grade 8 in Music Theory, and teach introductory Music classes for teens and adults alongside my main teaching in Psychology and Biology. I have experience of using Psychological knowledge to inform my own practice techniques, in order to prepare for solo/accompanied performances, and orchestral pieces.
Work on your independent target as you do your music practice.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
