that's such great news maria!!!! so happy to hear it and thank you for letting me know.

I'm 66 and have achieved a working memory like a gold fish. Your video (and Noa's blog) are really helpful in nailing down the reasons for my struggle and how to find a way to get out of it. THANK YOU.

so glad to hear!

Very good advice. Thank you!

When you said "again, you're multi-tasking", I was feeling caught red-handed. That seems interesting, can't wait to try it.

Super!!!! great! thanks.

Great advice. Thank you

Hey, Rob, my college auditions are so close, I was wondering if can you make a practice log template? It's so overwhelming! Thanks, love the channel!

i don't do practice logging, but i did write about how to keep a practice journal. you can check out the blog and there's an accompanying download that shows exactly how i do it: www.robknopper.com/blog/2016/6/25/what-my-practice-journal-looks-like

I think you that Rick by recording for myself on the video record not just audio record. Because I might not remember how I actually cuter to note to get a certain sound unless I saw what I was doing right or wrong.

College auditions in the UK start in a month, so I'll see how much I can integrate in this time! 4 quite different auditions coming up. Just one question, do you think this could/should affect one's ability to adjust if you know you flubbed something which repeats? If you're only concentrating on playing when you're playing (in a class setting), could it come across as unwillingness to adjust if you don't consciously think to? Or have I misinterpreted something?

that advice about focusing on playing is relevant when you're self-recording and trying to make systematic improvements. when you're actually performing you should definitely listen to yourself, the room, and adjust as necessary!

the idea is to start by focusing on smaller sections or contexts and then expand outwards. start w/ one note, then one beat, one measure, one line, one page. start with individually focusing on playing/listening/problem solving, then practice all at once in a performance setting.

Hi Rob, do you listen to recordings right after you record them in the practice room or do you wait until you're done with the practice session and have listening sessions?

i listen in the session back and forth repetitively. play, listen, play, listen, over and over. this lets me solve tons of problems in a short amount of time
