This video outlines how we can use a Piano Practice Strategy that I'm nicknaming the Power Pause as a way of fixing problems with our muscle memory, helping us get better control on tricky passages and strengthen our memory.
Using 3 real life examples of where this has really helped me (Debussy's Clair de Lune, Chopin's A Flat Waltz and the Bach/Siloti Prelude in B Minor), I show how we can use this method to help us progress faster and more reliably on piano.
For more information on this phenomenon called 'Muscle Memory', I'd invite you to watch my video on the topic:

During the video, I mentioned the Virtual Piano Performance Workshop I attended with Graham Fitch where I presented the Bach/Siloti Prelude and as promised here is the link to my review of it on my website:
