Listening to Talented Musicians -Besides practicing regularly, one of the best ways to grow as a musician is by listening to talented musicians perform the kind of music that you want to play. Of course, it takes time, effort, and (gulp!) money to find, acquire, and listen to good music, but it can make an immense difference in your musicianship. Time and again, I have found new skills showing up in my own playing after listening to skilled musicians do the same; other times I haven’t known how to approach a tune until hearing it artfully performed. For this reason, I have frequently used work, exercise, or driving time to enjoy listening to music that I can learn from. Ultimately, the music that you carry in your head is what will flow from your instrument.
