  <description>&lt;p&gt;Musical Calibration is something every true musician will go through. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We all have a musical starting point. But along our musical journey, other musicians and genres of music will help shape and mold us into the type of player we will become. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This may take 10 years or it may take 50. It all depends on your personal journey. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How we practice will help develop and push that calibration in exciting directions! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some of the most successful artist and players have evolved and changed with the times to stay relevant. The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Michael Jackson and so many more. This is also an essential element for the working musician to remain hireable. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join Jon and Chris as they dive deep into this topic. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Practice is essential to developing on a musical instrument. In this episode we breakdown all the aspects of practice and how it helps us as working musicians. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How much can our brains handle at once? Do they get overloaded? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Are you practicing with intent? Do you have a plan for practice when you sit down? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During this episode we breakdown practicing with a metronome vs practicing ideas with a band. How to build up your chops. Do you get feedback from your bandmates? Are you asking for it? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This episode was fun! We love talking about practice and how it can make us better players and band members.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Come join us!  &lt;/p&gt;
