Scott Belck uses a timer I think to help maintain a state of “chop neutral”, where he can play all day. I use one because I have a few different overuse points to manage (lips and jaw muscles). It helps keep me honest about rest, and figure out how long I can play.
At the moment, 1.5 years in, this is what I’m doing:
-25 min session with one minute rests (standard warmup stuff)
-15 min session (Etudes. play 4-8 bar phrase, sing next phrase, rest a little more, play the sung phrase)
-Rest a day after 2-3 days playing to let things catch up.
I’m flexible with it based on whether or not what I’m playing is relatively strenuous. Probably don’t need a minute rest after a mid G long tone for example. At some point I hope to develop good intuition about rest, but having a structure helps keep me from getting too far out of bounds. |
