Here's the more philosophical stuff.
If you haven't checked this out, do so. It's really cool what's happened here and what's been talk about.
I learned a lot from it!
So when I was in college I came up with this plan that really helped me. It's a little over the top, but it could be a good guide for some of us.
In school it helped me keep the music going. Even after I graduated I kept this going and it helped me, I think stay in the business.
Here it goes, first:
Ear Training: 1 hour equals 2
Practicing: 1 hour equals 1 hour
Listening: 1 hour equals 1.5 hours
Jamming and gigging: 1 hour equals 3
doing music business stuff: 1 hour equals, .5 hours
teaching: 1 hour equals 1 hour
Hi Everyone,
Can't say I've written a blog before but there's a first time for everything. I was discussing this with John Piper and he thought it would be a great discussion for the community.
This site is obviously a great resource for all of us; looking to become better musicians, enthusiasts, vibraphonists, whatever...and there has been a TON of valuable material posted. I myself check the vibes workshop about 5 times per day to see what is new and what I can add to my practice routine.
