Have you ever heard of "binge practicing" before? So, binge practicing is kind of what it sounds like, it's where you are practicing for large amounts at a time.
And you can also binge practice often, so you are binge practicing frequently. It's kind of like binge-watching Netflix. It's like you watch 5 hours one day and 5 hours the next day, and it keeps on going on like that.
Well, today, I want to talk about the pros of binge practicing and the cons of binge practicing for your jazz playing.
In this episode:

1. Drastic improvement in technical proficiency
