Immersive listening: a key component of music study

A wise teacher said, “we are who we listen to”. Another slightly more jaded teacher asserted that all students want to play want they hear in their heads. And unfortunately, they already do. Ouch  

Building your repertoire of sound possibilities come from repeated listening to the same tracks over an extended period. How much time? Until you find yourself humming along.

Try this:

1. Build a playlist of say 20 pieces or so. I suggest younger professional players under the age of 40. They see the world in a different way if you are younger or older. Time to shake it up a bit.
2. Just play it everyday in the background until you are singing along.
3. Next week created another playlist and repeat.

 
Happy listening.

PS: as you can see the screen shot above shows a combination of younger and legacy players.
