This piece was sort of a test piece of some new practice methods and things to keep in mind that I've been developing for myself. Been trying to get effective with my practice and I've definitely gotten better. All in all, it led to me needing only two takes, thank goodness, although it wouldn't be so bad to take more takes, because, with this piece, this was the first time I was genuinely having a blast recording. I would either dread recording day or just think it was a thing to be done, but I was really happy making music this time. I was thinking that it was mostly because, obviously, Glassy Sky is just an amazing piece of music and Theishter gives it a really interesting take, but just how well prepared I was this time vs previous times really made me concentrate on the music and not on the fact that I was recording. One thing I learned, if you prepared the piece very well - and I mean very well - and you make a mistake in your recording, don't stop, record to the end. Even if you - for some reason - are making mistakes at parts that were never causing trouble before, keep playing as if it never happened, just record as many full takes as you need. When I would stop, it would just ruin the flow that I had. It would ironically take longer than it would've if I just kept going and doing another take. Most importantly, I noticed that if I stayed in this flow, the mistakes would get fewer and fewer with each new take. Man, I really might make a video about my journey in the future because it just really helped me improve and really enjoy music, and I would like to share that with all of you guys. In the end, I'm happy with what I was able to come up with this time. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for watching :D
