0:00.0	What's up everybody? Peter Martin here coming to you with're listening to the You'll Hear
0:28.2	podcast, advice, and inspiration for music and life.
0:32.1	Coming at you.
0:33.2	Coming at you by myself, outdoors, away from the piano, away from the Hammer 88s, away from Adam.
0:40.3	And today we are talking about how do we get better when we are away from our instrument,
0:47.3	when we are away from the things, the apps, the metronome, the music, the transcription, all the things that we think we have to have in order to get better as jazz musicians.
0:58.6	And we're going to get into a few areas that I hope will be helpful for you because there's a lot of ways to get better just walking around, just sitting and thinking, meditating on music.
1:08.7	And so we're going to talk about all that. But first, we are brought to you

1:57.4	I know that we've had a lot of time, a lot of folks have had a lot of time at home,
2:02.1	kind of, you know, a little bit of isolation and maybe some extra time to practice on your
2:07.2	instrument, which is fantastic. But a lot of times we need to get away from our instruments,
2:13.1	away from the recordings, away from all the things that we preach and tell you to do
2:17.1	about listening
2:18.2	and transcribing and deep listening. These are all great things. But sometimes we just need to give
2:24.1	ourselves a chance to absorb all that in a way that I think is a little bit separated. So that's
