Visualize and silent practice – Get the most out of your practise in this way

Visualize and silent practice – Get the most out of your practise in this way
Many saxophone players do not have the possibility to practise at home with sound. This is a huge obstacle in the development of playing and in the pleasure of playing. 

I have used visualizing and silent practise for many years. This has given me the possibility to grow whenever I had time to focus on music.
Practise when you travel, in the train or in the car. Practise before you sleep, in front of the tv. 

With or without the saxophone, with or without making sound – it is always possible to practise.
In this video I will give you all the ins and outs of visualizing and silent practise.
