Transform your students' practice sessions
Intended as a companion to my book Learn Faster, Perform Better: A Musician's Guide to the Neuroscience of Practicing (published by Oxford University Press), this workbook will help guide students through the practical application of the practice methods I discuss in my work. Topics covered include: practicing fundamentals, ideas for getting started on a new piece, spaced and interleaved practice, how to play faster, mental practice, memorization, attentional focus, variable practice, improving rhythm and tempo, and refining intonation and sense of pitch. Each worksheet is one page long and includes clear instructions and questions for reflection so that you can tailor each practice idea to suit your needs and goals. Every practice idea has been developed directly from research on learning and memory and I have personally used every single one to great effect in my own playing and teaching. ***NOTE: This version of the workbook is only available to K-12 educators as a SITE LICENSE to enable sharing the contents with students.

Hi! I'm Dr. Molly Gebrian
I am a professional violist with a background in cognitive neuroscience, and I consider myself to be both a performer and a scholar. I use my background in cognitive neuroscience to translate the research on learning and memory into practical, actionable solutions musicians can use to practice and perform more effectively.

Help your students start practicing better today
This is a resource I've developed over the last 20 years by applying the research of learning and memory to our unique challenges as musicians. Students can do the workbook in order or skip around, doing only the worksheets that best address their personal practice challenges. Either way, I hope this resource proves to be as useful and life-changing as these ideas have been for my own practicing and performing and that of my students. ***NOTE: This version of the workbook is only available to K-12 educators as a SITE LICENSE to enable sharing the contents with students.
