Musicians with Dystonia Bulletin Board

How easy do you want the movement to be?

While playing slowly and under the threshold you reinforce the correct movement AND overwrite the bad one. Speed is based on well-learnt patterns and learning takes time. I suggest you keep repeating a phrase until you feel it's the easiest thing ever and think about speeding up later only (even days or weeks later). While playing check and release ANY tension and make sure the whole thing feels easy and natural. Once you reach it stay there and keep playing as long as you can.

Later when speeding up remember how easy it felt when played slowly and go for that feeling inside, just let your fingers do what you taught them before.
