Jeff covers a lot of ground in this session.

  • His ideal number of practice sessions in a day

  • The magic of unemotional critique

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

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

  • And more!

“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.”
