Episode 13 - Listening Approach for Classical vs Non-Classical Music

The Musician Toolkit with David Lane

It took 13 episodes since this podcast began with the premise of exploring 20 tools of musicianship that every musician should have in some proportion. Finally, there's a 21st tool to mention: the skill of active listening. This is different than passive listening, a fine activity where you just enjoy the music, but it is essential to becoming a great musician! In this episode, we review listening strategies while giving some special mention to classical simply because how you become familiar with the music is different than how you would approach other genres.
