		<description><![CDATA[The human body is an amazing machine. Do anything often enough and consistently enough, and it will start to feel natural. This can be both a blessing and a curse. As musicians, we want our physical motions to become habitual. As I always tell my students &#8211; we study technique so that we don&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As musicians, we all tend to dabble a bit. Who hasn&#8217;t had a &#8220;round robin&#8221; at rehearsal just to break things up a bit? And I&#8217;d bet there&#8217;s probably a pennywhistle in the back of a drawer somewhere in your house, too! Lately, I&#8217;ve been diving in to learning bass guitar, and I&#8217;ve noticed a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time to practice reading music, and really conquering that part of our musical development. One of the key factors that separates master readers from average readers is the amount of information taken in at a glance. Average readers let their eyes track along with what they are playing, which is actually really hard to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just posted a new, FREE video lesson to the site. This is the first in a series of lessons dealing with rudiments at the drumset. Lesson 1 is focused on Rudiment #1, the single stroke roll. Stay tuned, we&#8217;ll eventually cover all 40 rudiments in drumset applications. .pdf notation for this lesson is available [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what does practice smell like? I&#8217;ve never really thought about it, but recently I had two smell-induced flashbacks to my high school band days, and it made me think about it! Flashback one: I opened up my binder full scores for the marching band I&#8217;ve been working with. Around this point in the season, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve gotten behind on my WOD posts, so here&#8217;s a new batch of four! As a rehearsal technique, it&#8217;s meant to be educational, and I can definitely say I&#8217;ve learned a lot from these exercises. Here&#8217;s a few thoughts: writing and recording a song every day, even a small one, is a lot to take [...]]]></description>
