How to Practice: Frameworks from Athletic Training

Musical performance is an athletic pursuit. In many disciplines, high performing athletes train intentionally, for specific events and centering approaches that prioritize safety and injury-prevention. This session will present distinct models of skill development in athletic coaching, including discipline-specific event preparation, periodized season designs, goal cycling, and adaptive training. We will explore the applications of speed, strength, and endurance training in musical practice. Participants will leave with sample practice sessions and semester or concert cycle preparation plans.
