Halloween ‘Back-to-School’ Practice Strategy
INTERLEAVING – MIX
“While repetition is vital, research says we will actually learn that skill more effectively
if we mix our practice of it with other skills. This is known as interleaving.”
“MIX” Up Assignments
– After practicing a scale a few times, play a piece,
then go back to the scale.
– Switching between tasks will help students to think more
critically and will encourage them to give more thought before playing.
– Or, practice a piece, do some homework…
and then play the same piece to test
reliability and accuracy.
