5-DAY
FEEL GOOD
PRACTICE CHALLENGE

Make your practice more empowered & joyful

(and spoiler alert, more efficient, too.)

What if you challenged yourself to 5 days of feel good practice?

​​

Most of us have trained for YEARS in the art of critique. A push and a nudge is fine, but being ruthless with yourself won’t help you practice more, and it definitely wont help you practice better. I know it feels like it will, but research shows otherwise.

​

​Feeling good about ourselves isn’t a reward for good work. Nor is it a bonus. Just like being critical is central to practice, feeling good about ourselves is fundamental as well. (And, what if I also told you it can lead to more progress than you imagined?)

 

It's time to bring more empowerment & joy to your practice (oh, and a bonus will be more efficiency, too!) through 5 days of actionable prompts.  

​

Ya ready? 

Note: once you submit, it may take a couple of minutes to deliver your download to your inbox! Have a tea and take some deep breaths. ;)

WHO IS SUSANNA?

During the day I'm a professor, at night a violinist, and at twilight I'm a writer! 

​ 

I study practice psychology and how technology enhances practice. And the big news: I'm currently in the middle of writing a book on the psychology of practice (gulp). 

​

Originally from Stuttgart, Germany, I have enjoyed a varied career as a violinist, educator, author, speaker and researcher on the East Coast.


I'm the author of the Practizma Practice Journal, the co-creator of the Clipza app (so you can take better video when you practice), and the Associate Professor of Violin and Coordinator of strings at Virginia Commonwealth University.
