Mental practice is a technique used in music as well. Professional musicians may use mental practice when they are away from their instrument or unable to physically practice due to an injury. Studies show that musicians who mentally practice for the same amount of time as those who physically practice perform nearly as well. In addition, mental practice with a small dose of physical practice provides the same outcome as if they had physically practiced the whole time.[2]
Subjects were randomly placed into two groups. One was allowed to physically practice at a piano for two hours daily for five days. The other was told to imagine their fingers playing the pattern while sitting in front of a keyboard without touching it or moving their fingers for the same allotment of time.
