What's up? You'll hear at listeners. This is Caleb Kirby in the studio today. So excited to give you a run-it-back episode where I'm going to find all the clips and the content that we need under a central theme to really just get to the juicy bits of these past you'll hear at episodes.

The central theme today is practice.

You're going to be listening to Adam and Peter's advice on how to practice and get the most out of your practice sessions.

This is really important stuff in terms of just building a lifestyle around playing music

and always getting better at the thing you love to do.

So this bit of advice comes straight from Adam and Peter

and how they approach practicing and infusing it

with your everyday lifestyle.

And I hope you enjoy.

Let's say that you're learning a complex tune,

an in-depth tune like Lush billy strayhorn's beautiful composition say

you don't really know it but um you've always wanted to know so like i'm going to learn it okay

you're probably not going to learn it in one day even if you practice all day that wouldn't be

advisable because that's not the way you want to absorb it you want to take your time with it

learn it deeply um so you you know, but in terms

of productivity and seeing what you're getting out of your practice session, you want to see

actually how many measures did you learn? How many phrases, however you break it up and you want to

try to break it up musically as much as possible. But I think that that's very important.

It's very, you know, nuts and bolts and very, wham-bam, thank you, ma'am.

But, like, that's what productivity is.

The other side and Adam got into the sum about, you know, the more esoteric stuff is important

too.
