Keep practicing to learn to play with less effort.
⚡ The Short Version
Continued practice after mastery brings physiological change. Even after skill plateaus and muscle effort stops improving, the brain keeps optimizing movement efficiency.
The brain learns to think more efficiently about the task. Neural processing adapts to reduce metabolic cost, measured by decreased oxygen intake.
Work on correctness first, then build ease. Continue practicing after you get it right—do 20 or 100 more repetitions focusing on relaxation and smoothness.
