GTR-005 - Can You Teach An Old Dog New Tricks?

GrassTalkRadio.com Episode 005

Can You Teach An Old Dog New Tricks? - In this episode I respond to a question I got from listener. I compare learning at different stages of the process and offer food for thought on this topic that often stops people dead in their tracks. I  examine how we learn, how we train our subconscious mind through repetition, and discuss how (or if) it is possible to make changes at various stages of our musical lives. It's pretty eye opening to consider how many notes you'll play in your life!

GrassTalkRadio.com Episode 002

The Ugly Truth - In this episode I talk about the two choices you have when you embark on the journey of learning to play an instrument. I call it the ugly truth because hardly anyone is willing to discuss it. It's reality and it's the truth and knowing about it will help keep you motivated.
