Practise Procedure

[VW fan]

I'm just a 'loungeroom-player', but like a challenge and have been teaching myself to play Kinga Glyk's version of Tears in Heaven.
From my years of dog-training, I've begun incorporating the principle of ending a session on a 'good rep' with my bass practise. And also, when it comes to precision, the principle of 'slow is fast'.
I'd be interested in your thoughts...

 

[JRA]

my thoughts: sounds like you're doing the right thing. good idea(s)!

 

[ProbablyTooLoud]

Yup, both apply to learning bass.

Slow is fast, (or rather slow = relaxed and accurate = fast ) yes.

ending a session on a 'good rep'

I'm one of those bassist who is not also a dog trainer.
What does that mean exactly?

Pretty sure it means finishing any training session on a positive note, after succeeding at a piece of the current curriculum, rather than ending after a failed attempt.

ah so "finish on a good rep" is a weight training analogy

Yes, and people use the term 'reps' in all kinds of other fitness/athletic training situations too.

I'm a former cycling coach, and one of our mantras was "Slow Is Smooth, And Smooth Is Fast"

One of the strategies in effective dog training is to gradually teach new behaviours.

I'm trying to figure out how this forum works in terms of replying, so apologies for the multiple posts.

In terms of the comparison to dog training (which is just a thought I'm exploring), the similarities are essentially around learning new behaviour and/or improving previously learned behaviour.
