I hadn't thought of bowing on a single string while playing a passage. What a nice extra little challenge! And talking while practicing and playing is no secret; talking, writing, demonstrating, and counting are all great multitasking opportunities that come from teaching. Large portions of my teaching involve practicing alongside my student and explaining the practice process. And counting. And singing, and... I'm really tired right now.

But I reread what you wrote, and I'm left wondering what it is that one is supposed to be talking about when practicing. You didn't go into specifics.

I think I'm a little run down, actually. All I want to do is hide under a blanket. And maybe knit.

Perhaps avoiding ovine related numerics whilst counting would be adviseable lest one nod off during the session.
