Musician shares method for learning to play multiple instruments at once

The author describes a method for learning to play multiple musical instruments simultaneously, a skill they call "musical multitasking." This technique involves breaking down complex actions into isolated practice, then performing them while distracted by non-musical tasks to move the skill to a subconscious level. Finally, the learned skills are combined with other musical actions, leveraging the brain's capacity for parallel processing. The author emphasizes the importance of allowing consolidation time between practice sessions for effective learning. AI
