In the following clip, Michael shares one of his favorite way to get ready for a performance.
Basically, every time you walk by your instrument, stop to play your piece. This method will give you a lot of return on a very minimal amount of effort. You only get one shot to play it each time you walk by. Don't play your piece more than once, stop or start in between, or only play sections. If you make a mistake, keep going until the end and then walk away.
