🎥 Workshop Highlight — Breaking & Linking: A Smarter Way to Fix Tricky Passages
We’ve all been there — you reach a tricky bar, stop, restart, and hope that repetition will make it stick.But repetition alone doesn’t build fluency — it just reinforces the stumble.
The Breaking & Linking method offers a calmer, more structured way to rebuild fluency without losing musical flow.
💡 Key idea: Break down sections into smaller chunks, then link them together.
🎹 Try this next time you practise:
1️⃣ Break the tricky section into small, meaningful musical phrases (not random bar numbers).
2️⃣ Link them — overlap by one bar so that every join feels natural and smooth.
3️⃣ Gradually widen the overlap until the full passage feels effortless.
It’s a simple shift — but it completely changes how you handle frustration and build control.
👇 Watch the highlight below, then try the method on your current piece. Afterwards, share what section you worked on in Progress & Wins — or post a short clip showing how the linking helped your fluency return.
