- people don't have time to listen to me practice all day.
- I don't have time to practice all day.
- I have a difficult time finding large blocks of time when our piano is available to play since my husband uses the studio to teach much of the day.
- it's better for me (and most people) to practice in small little segments.
- it might be interesting and informative for people to see that improvement can actually happen in a short amount of time.
For those of you who have never seem me do this, it's probably helpful to know that I narrate what's going on in my head while I'm practicing. You'll see and hear me give myself feedback (hopefully in a civil way), problem solve, test out various strategies, and explore musical choices in the process. And yes, you will probably catch some not-so-good practice strategies as well - I am human, after all. I actually think there's value in seeing me flail every now and then.
My goal is to do this on a regular basis but I'll be pretty sporadic in terms of what time of day I'll be livestreaming. I will tweet and post on my Facebook page when I'm about to go live so keep an eye on my postings if you want to catch one. I'll also be checking the social media streams in between sessions so if you have a pressing question that arises while watching, let me know and I'll try to answer you promptly.
If you miss the livestream sessions you'll be able to watch them on my ustream channel for up to 30 days or on my YouTube playlist at any time.
Here are my three sessions from today. I particularly love (hear the sarcasm!) the thumbnail image that accompanies the first video - yikes! I hope you find something useful in watching them and please do spread the word!
