Video Transcript:
Why is recording yourself so powerful? There are many reasons, but here are a few:
1. You hit the record button, and you get serious. This gives you a snapshot. In a real gig, you don't get a second chance. There may not be a take two. Recording yourself and you find out how well you know the piece.
2. It gives you a wonderful way to compare your playing now vs. how you played it a bit ago.
3. You will see things when you watch that video of yourself playing that you otherwise would not notice. Watching yourself play gives you a really good check on your technique. You will also notice what you look like playing. Are you going with the music? Are you grooving? Are you connecting with the listener? All of these are important aspects. Reason #
4. You can show it to others and get feedback. We've been doing this for years in our cohort classes. Record yourself, post it to a community board, and your peers, teachers, and coaches can give you feedback. Sometimes, I will ask for volunteers to present a video and I will publicly critique it. That is an opportunity for everyone to learn. Reason #
5. Ear check. You may notice while you are busy playing, you can't actually hear yourself that well. Your mind is distracted. Your fingers are moving. You're thinking about the next note. So your ears are not actually engaging with what you are doing -especially in a band situation you may almost be distracted by your own playing and be listening to others. Or the other way around. A recording gives you the opportunity to listen to yourself. Listening to yourself, and listening to yourself in context are core skills that will help you connect with your band members and to the audience.
6. It takes guts! Hitting that record button for the very first time can be a challenge for some. So if you feel apprehensive about it, but you overcome it, then you really have a reason to celebrate and pat yourself on the back. Because, it turns out, you are the type of person who set out to do a certain thing and you actually did it!
