A Deloading Musician : Could a practice plan include a deload week? Would it be beneficial for a musician to deload?

This thesis explores integrating deload weeks into musicians' practice plans to enhance performance and prevent burnout. It investigates the concept's applicability in music practice, drawing parallels from strength training and bouldering. The thesis examines typical practice approaches, methods for measuring exertion, and considers the Sibelius Academy's practice guide as an alternative methodology. Deload week examples, tapering strategies, arguments against deloading, and the author's personalized practice plan are discussed. The thesis emphasizes the importance of integrating deload weeks to optimize musicians' performance and well-being, calling for further exploration in refining practice methodologies.
