Tip 70: Keep Things in Perspective

Keep your ear training in perspective by finishing every practice with an improv session, focusing especially on using intervals and patterns you worked on that day.

They’ll feel more natural than they used to, and working them in with your playing technique will be a good indication of your progress.

There’s nothing more encouraging than hearing your hard work pay off in your playing, so wrap up a set of exercises with some jamming to leave you feeling confident and looking forward to next time.
