The cd player was off! He usually likes piano classical music. I like to listen to the marches before I play them. I found a few march albums online at the Itunes site. What's bad is when someone tells you that they can't get a tune out of their head and then you start hearing it too. Jason, do you mean that oboe players actually play badly on purpose?

Both tasks are problematic. We encourage students to listen to good tone and internalize that concept, to hear what they want in their head. But they have to learn that auditory recall. And hearing what the horn is doing, especially while holding a desired tone in your head, isn't easy either. I know I struggle with it. Doing the one seems to interfere with the other. I speculate that most of the difference between the great players and the rest of us is that they learn to hear themselves more quickly, perhaps are even born with the innate ability. Once they can hear themselves and establish the feedback loop, the corrections come naturally. Yes, I hear my playing inside my head, but I'm not always sure there's one-to-one correspondence with reality. I also suspect it causes me to vocalize softly at times. Related anecdote: When I was in college I had an Extra class ham radio license and listened to quite a bit of code, but I was in awe of a fellow ham who could copy CW at 30+ wpm while doing crosswords or driving a car. He said if he knew the person he was listening to he actually heard their voice in his head instead of dots and dashes. If he didn't know them he heard his own voice. -----Original Message----- From: Samuel Jay Keyser [mailto:keyser@MIT.EDU] Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 5:00 AM To: Trombone-l@samford.edu Cc: Samuel Jay Keyser Subject: [Trombone-l] Question I've got an odd question I'd like to ask the listers.

Gary and I had dinner Sun, and we briefly spoke about the problem of having music "stuck" in your head. I said that I had purposely begun to sing a song I like (Star Eyes) to try and clean out the cranium. When I asked Gary if he had unwelcome songs get stuck in there, he said "Of course". Really, I think you must have some sort of "prototype" trombone sound in there in order to make a decent trombone sound. As you get more in tune, with the right attack, and the chosen amount of vibrato (or no vibrato), volume and so forth, you are inching closer to an archtype. Musicians are not the only ones who have this kind of phenomenon. Audio engineers are noted for discussing this at length. They seek archtyped sounds and soundscapes. They employ certain techniques to get there. One reason some may deny this, is that our minds can simultaneously think about many things. This leads to us hearing melody and harmony and accompanying sounds simultaneously. . .sometimes whether we like it or not. Also, some may feel that they "should" sound some particular way, when it probably isn't the best thing to get into "should" but to see what CAN be done. -----Original Message----- From: trombone-l-bounces@samford.edu [mailto:trombone-l-bounces@samford.edu] On Behalf Of Daryl Burch Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 11:46 PM To: Samuel Jay Keyser Cc: Trombone-l@samford.edu Subject: Re: [Trombone-l] Question As far as hearing music in my head... constantly. As far as singing what I play.... even more so. When it comes to soloing I hear myself making the same phrases song to song. And the challenge is to try sing either different phrases or alter the phrases so as to not repeat myself over and over... a constant struggle. So I try to listen to more/diverse players and emulate them or transcribe as many different styles as I can so as to increase said soloing vocabulary. ...Did I just take this way off topic???? On a language note: Around about my 3rd year of taking German, I found myself listening in English (American). Translating into German in my head. Then re-translating into English before I'd answer. This continued until about 2 or 3 years after my 5th year of German (in college). This made for some verrrrrry interesting conversations with German tourists when I was in the Caribbean and had a few too many Red Stripes.... Now it only comes around after many beers and hanging with some German friends in San Francisco. (No! Not in the Castro District!)
