What timer duration is best for you? What types of goals? Where in your recital/audition/jury preparation cycle is this best? If any of you try this approach, please share. The best part, though, is that the process freed me from mandating perfection - when the timer goes off, work is done, if only for now.Īfter years of skepticism with this particular technique, I am actually shocked to finally find a permutation of duration, goals, and preparation situation that works for me, and that has sparked a great deal of curiosity. The shift in timing increased adrenaline and anxiety (then again, so did using a giant, constantly visible timer). The shift in excerpt length required me to change my concept of goals from larger skills (response in the low register) to specific instances (low B overblown, but only at louder than mezzo forte and if staccato). Of the 17 different accepted triggers (many of which are social and not applicable to individual study), this shortened and more focused pomodoro design allowed me to relate to all of the following: This technique use timer to break down works into a set of intervals separated by breaks. Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. I attribute this entirely to finding my own personal cocktail for experiencing as many flow triggers as possible in a short period of time. TomatoTimers is a customizable and easy to use looping pomodoro timer to boost your efficiency.
Technical tempo barriers increased exponentially and without tension. I began to access a flow state multiple times per practice session.
I photocopied all of the music I needed to perform in ten days' time and literally cut it into chunks - one measure chunks, to be exact - and I shortened my time restriction to ten minutes - shorter periods than I had used since before college. One week ago, I attacked this with gusto. What if, instead of one passage for 25% of a practice session, I did one measure at a time for 5-10%? When I started getting bored running, I found ways to change my scenery more frequently. So what if I tried techniques from other things that used to bore me? I turned to running, one of my favorite mind-numbingly-boring physical exercises, and the epiphany I had been seeking for years hit me square in the face. My growing experience in pedagogy helped solve the first two, and delving into mindfulness and psychology research helped with the second two, but the last one still eluded me. Feeling trapped by excessive boredom and restrictive timelines.Prioritizing practicing fast over practicing right.Misjudging appropriate goal complexity for time allotted.

I encountered a series of difficulties that may seem familiar for anyone attempting to create successful practice result and time goals:
