I actually recorded both parts with Zoom, admittedly not the best for audio production, but it’s what I had.

  This is great to hear Pete. I talk a lot about Deliberate Practice, but there’s a lot of value in balancing DropBox with exploration and fun 💃🏻

Next month we’ll do another workshop on chord backup on April…[Read more]

You’re on the right track, just by being aware of it.

I work in tech as a data analyst and it’s hard to turn that part of my brain off because I’m worrying too much about my posture, my bowing, intonation, etc. and trying to apply everything I’ve learned in pursuit of the ‘right/perfect’ sound.

Sounds like a similar issue to Patty above…

Good goals. It’s something I still work on too.
