  • Completely unrelated answer, but my way of reading better is writing and drawing on the score, specially the parts that are harder to remember or play.

    I see many people reading scores from tablets and that won’t work for me.

    Slightly related to the topic, do an improv or make up harmony for what you’re playing. Because that’s stimulating your creative brain, which doesn’t get a big work out if you’re just playing what’s written. Btw in baroque times it was standard to play harpsichord and have a proper time for improv/solo. Classical and romantic music killed that trend.

    More related to the topic, shake/headbang or the closest thing to moving/dancing you can do while playing. It’s going to be challenging next time you play flight of the bumblebee.
