David “There is nothing more fatal for our musical sense, than to allow ourselves – by the hour – to hear musical sounds without really listening to them”
-Tobias Matthay The Musician’s Way, p. 16 Please have a quick read of Gerald Klickstein's blog post on recording ourselves in practice. I have gigabytes on my hard-drive of practice. I agree completely with his point that, "Self-recording in practice provides us with the means to compensate for glitches in our self-perception and memory." https://www.musiciansway.com/blog/2009/09/self-recording-in-practice/?fbclid=IwAR0eBPKJA-RzGi8BVVyl2_Wv6HuKh8nDtUySP5S3EIrI3uTL1PcEl8GbIv8 Enjoy, David “People think I’m disciplined. It is not discipline. It is devotion. There is a great difference. ”Luciano Pavarotti, opera singer, 1935-2007
