136 | 3 Practice Tips for Parents of Young Musicians with Parent Guest Anton Van Oosbree
Q: What would you like to start with in sharing your journey as a parent of a young musician?
I wanted to highlight how involved and time-consuming practice is for parents too, and to stress that the focus should be on sustaining a positive, caring relationship rather than on forcing performance.
135 | NEW - Perfectionism in the Music Studio Revisited with Claire Allen & Christine Goodner
Q: What resources or books do you recommend for listeners who want to dive deeper into how brains learn and practice effectively?
Christine and Claire discuss Molly Gebrian's Learn Faster, Perform Better, Ellen Hendriksen's How to Be Enough, and related works as long-term resources for understanding learning and self-acceptance in practice.
135 | NEW - Perfectionism in the Music Studio Revisited with Claire Allen & Christine Goodner

134 | Alyna Bloecher: Keeping Music Practice Engaging & Avoiding Burnout
Q: What would you like listeners to take away about practice and keeping it engaging in the summer?
