What are ⚡️ SPARK Practice Sessions?

We believe that music practice should be fun, and that it should lead to real, reliable, & consistent results. There’s nothing worse than starting blankly at the wall and not feeling like we know how to get better. 

⚡️SPARK Practice uses 30-minute interleaved interval training sessions comprised of 5, 5-minute SPARKS with a 5 minute pause. It’s easily integrated into the Pomodoro method.
🧩 Each SPARK Practice session touches on every pillar of music-making. Each SPARK speaks to an area of playing and helps strategically build and reinforce learning, retrieval, integration, & expression from every angle.
🥳 Cultivate a good attitude. Learn how to incorporate mindfulness with a positive, process-based approach, concentrate on the right stuff, know how to recover confidently, & build your mental game into your practice time. 
⏳Having a timer keeps you moving and helps make practice more fun. Spend 5 minutes on each SPARK, and when the buzzer sounds, move on!
😎 Take a break - rest is really important for your body and mind! We always rest for at least 5 minutes after each ⚡️SPARK Practice Session.

We believe that learning how to practice is an essential part of becoming the best musician we can be. Until now, only a few people know and incorporate these essential elements into their regular practice - so we’re here to bring years of experience, research, and expert advice together to make excellence accessible to everyone.

Foundational Pillars :
Rhythm, Attuned Intonation, & Sound

You’re done spending mindless time in the practice room. From now on, make real progress toward your playing and performing goals, starting with the foundational pillars of music : rhythm, intonation, & sound (voice).
🥁 RHYTHM  
The first and most fundamental element of music - time.
🪢 ATTUNED Intonation
Playing in tune means knowing what’s going on in your piece, not just that note.
​🎙 SOUND
Musical mastery shines through well-crafted sound. Developing your voice is like developing your painter’s palette, fundamental to telling your story in colour.

Secret Pillars : 
​Kinetic integration & Performance

Some people know and incorporate these into their practice - but they’re essential for integration and using neuroscience to get the most out of your time in the practice room. This is the real secret to upleveling your playing quickly.
🧩 KINETIC Integration 
Getting your body and voice involved in non-traditional ways will help you integrate and absorb faster with higher fidelity.
​❤️ PERFORMANCE
Do you practice your centering routine ? How’s your visualisation ? Do you have words and images to help set the scene for each piece ? Practicing performing is an essential element to musical preparation.
