Your Keyboard And Your Mind

You can improve your playing with mental practice, which might sound a bit odd to the uninitiated. Creative visualization has now been proven as a technique for improving skill in a wide variety of areas. Some years ago a test was carried out between two teams of people. Both teams were asked to throw darts at a dart board and the results were recorded. Team one was instructed to practice dart throwing for half an hour every day for a month. Team two was instructed not to practice throwing darts but to relax for half an hour each day and vividly imagine throwing darts and hitting the bulls eye. After a month the two teams were tested again and the remarkable thing was that both teams had improved dramatically.
