A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

Use of "mental play"

on: September 26, 2007, 11:30:57 AM

Hi all,

There are several pages of discussion on the benefits of "mental play" beginning on this page of the following link:

https://www.pianofundamentals.com/book/en/1.III.6.10

Does anyone use "mental play" as part of a practice regimen?

Has anyone used "mental play" to prepare for a recital and noticed a performance improvement (when compared with previous recitals in which they did not prepare for using "mental play")?

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks,
atticus

i've been using it to help me learn pieces and it does save time so far. Its good to have a piece memorized like that as well as hand memory because there will be less of a chance of forgetting a part while playing. It is still something that is new to me, I found out about it on this forum not too long ago but so far it has helped out a lot.
