I go in and out of the good habit of taping myself in practice sessions. I've been lazy this last month, and I've been working on a pretty tough baroque solo that I thought i had a handle on. I pulled out the boom box tonight and it proved me dead wrong. One of the teacherd I most admire called his tape recorder a "truth box." that sounds about right to me.
I've got some nice digital stuff, but I also have this $30 little thing from wal mart that has kept me in the practice room far longer than I wanted to be there, and it's a huge part of when I get things going well. So remember to always keep yourself honest, and be able to hear yourself as an audience member.

back to the practice room......
