The students in the second group were given one additional reminder about these instructions at the midway point of their practice sessions. When the two groups' playing was evaluated afterward by experts, the results confirmed the power of mindful practice: “The subjects given mindful instruction in the early steps of piano playing were rated as more competent and more creative and also expressed more enjoyment of the activity” (p. 27). If you are capable of opening your student practice sessions with instructions like the ones provided by Langer and her colleagues and of pausing students occasionally throughout the process—whether you do so individually or to the group as a whole—you are capable of helping students learn through mindful practice in your classroom.
