Inside the Practice Room with Jeff Nelsen

Andrew Hitz

 
 
 

It’s not every day that one of the world’s best brass players gives you such a complete look into the daily process that made them what they are today.

Join Jeff Nelsen of Canadian Brass as he invites us inside of his practice room!

Jeff covered a lot of ground!

  • His ideal number of practice sessions in a day

  • How he religiously times his sessions and why it makes him more focused

  • The magic of unemotional critique

  • The “Three Phases” of preparation for a performance as he has laid out in his Fearless Performance program

  • Why “forced urgency” is important at the beginning of the preparation process

Purchase long-term access to this workshop for only $29!

Inside the Practice Room with Jeff Nelsen was absolutely fantastic! The step-by-step tips he shared on how to practice and prepare for a performance completely changed the way I teach my middle school students how to practice. We all have our own practice journals now (myself included!) Thanks to his tips, my students feel more confident in identifying their successes and are having a more positive experience in the practice room.
