Crossposted (with some audience-based edits) from my Substack.

The best way to share this is by showing it. 

Very interested in your thoughts, especially from people who have experience with Ericsson/Pool deliberate practice [? · GW] either from a memory-precision perspective (strings of numbers, Shakespearean soliloquies, chess openings, etc.) or from a physical-precision perspective (guitar, piano, free throws, etc.).

If you want me to share/show more, I'll post another video tomorrow...

I don't have much successful experience but I am (slowly) working my way through Musicians Way https://www.musiciansway.com/practice/ which has some good ideas and worksheet templates for deliberate practice. I have frequently thought that integrating SRS into my music practice would help recall (trying to expand my memorized repertoire as well) but I haven't implemented anything there yet. Would love to hear other ideas.
