Not Your Average Practice Workshop
Judy offers workshops, both in-person and online, on the principles of Best Practice. Participants learn skills for practicing more efficiently and with greater ease, on any instrument, and for bringing joy, not just to their playing but to their day-to-day practicing. They walk away with tools to use every time they pick up their instrument.

 

Titles, such as

• Easy Ways to Vary a Tune

• Using the Practice Pyramid to Turbo Charge your Practice Time

• Learn to Improvise - In Just an Hour!

• Improving your Musicality 

• Martial Arts Tips for Musicians

incorporate generalized practice ideas, including:​

• Better posture and relaxation to avoid pain and play freely

• Coordinating mind/body – to play with greater control, calmness, and comfort

• Learning to listen

• Practical methods to unleash creativity and build self-confidence

 

Judy has given highly successful, in-person workshops at music camps including, in England, a weekend at Halsway Manor; in the US, at Ashokan Northern Week, the Northeast Squeeze-In, Northeast Heritage Music Camp, and Folk College; and in Canada at Camp de Souches à Oreilles.

 

She has taught online at Fiddle Hell and to numerous choral and instrumental groups, and periodically offers a six-part series held over 12 weeks.​​
