Yeah, what's up, Adam? You know, when we record a string of these things, you know, carboload. Yeah, you're eating my trail mix again, buddy. Yeah, sorry about that. I'm Adam Ennis. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to The You'll Hear a podcast. Daily Jazz Advice, Come in aap. Brought to you by Open Studio. Man, I feel so much better.

Thank you for sharing that trail mix with me. No problem, man. It's a little snacks. It trends sweet that trail mix. It does trend sweet. But that's not the sweet. That one does not have actual Milky Way bars in it. Some of them. I like the ones with like Reese's pieces. like almonds chocolates chocolates and more chocolates. It's really like the most calories you can get for the weight if you are a professional hiker. That's right. However, I said it a piano all day. That's right. It's all good. So what are we talking about today? What are we talking about today? Today we are talking about today. Today we are talking about help. Help. I need somebody. My practice

routine isn't working. Right. So, yeah, I think this is going to be a little bit of a self-help,

maybe a bit of a motivational episode of the You'll Hear It podcast. You can do it. You can do it.

Yeah. You are somebody.

If your practice routine is stalling out, you know, what are some techniques, what are

Yeah.

Has this ever happened to you?

Yes, it has.

In fact, I was just going to say, I think that this cry for help has happened to every jazz

player. Yeah, frequently probably. Yeah, and certainly the

frequency can be there. And so I think that's maybe the first thing when you feel like that.

Like what I'm thinking about with this is, you know, maybe you put in a new routine or you've got

a routine going and it's working and then all of a sudden it's not working

or maybe it just doesn't work from when you start either either one can happen and what that is is

I think the practice routine and that's why I you know well I'll just say like a practice

routine has to be fluid you're like it's certainly maybe you get lucky and you have a certain

routine and that works for six months exactly like it is that would be a long time that would be a long time but even like how you

evaluate and monitor it's you know effectiveness that has to be fluid and you have to be very

attentive to that so that you can make I don't think it's a matter of like totally redoing
