The benefits of recording your work can have a real impact on your overall growth as a performer/songwriter.
Here are some of the advantages:
You face the fear of how ‘good’ you sound and learn to ‘get over yourself’ by re-listening to your song over and over.
2. You begin listening to the sections of the song that need improvement - like phrasing, instrumentation,
technique, etc.
3. It gives you the chance to develop parts of the song that may be too repetitive in an effort to create some
variation.
4. It gives you the opportunity to LEARN, rather than expecting to have the perfect song or performance
straight away.
5. And it gives you the chance to GROW as a performer/songwriter.
Over time, having a series of recordings of your work, will give you the benefit of seeing your own development. This on- going practice of reflection and feedback can build your confidence, which is a great motivator to keep going in your pursuit of a good musical habit.
