Piano Competitions: Good or Bad?

In this podcast, we discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of competing in piano competitions. I had the opportunity to compete since I was 9 years old, and I’ve learned many valuable lessons over the years from doing so. However, competitions are not always beneficial, especially if you have the wrong mindset going into a competition. I hope the points presented in this podcast can help if you’re considering competing! To view Josh’s online courses, website, and gear, please visit https://linktr.ee/JoshWrightPiano

Effortless Mindset - Improve Speed, Reduce Tension, and Play With Confidence!

In this episode, we discuss improving your mindset at the piano by removing negative self-talk and limiting thoughts, and replacing them with mantras such as “Go fast...not hard. Effortless speed. No resistance.” This is somewhat of an abstract thing to talk about when improving piano technique, but I have seen drastic results in my own playing when adopting these practices. I hope it helps you in your studies! For links to my webinar, website, social media platforms, free trainings, gear, and other resources, click here: https://linktr.ee/JoshWrightPiano
