Pause, Read, Close Eyes, Play, Pause, Read, ...

This cycle of practicing music involving; stop, read, close eyes, play and then again... enables the mind to comprehend what is intended, chose what to capture and decisively engage the body.

Reading whilst playing seems to by pass the mind. Reading whilst playing seems to bypass the enjoyment.

I've found this sort of practice also helps a lot with sight reading at orchestra rehearsals!
