The Practice Tools Lecture Series

Quarantining

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Having identified those sections of a piece, or a programme that regularly break down when you get to them in a playthrough, put them into quarantine for a period of time. This includes sections that feel shaky or uncomfortable. Isolate these spots and give them extra practice time, perhaps in a separate 20-minute practice session or interleaved between other items in a routine practice session.
