My student was recording himself play the organ.
His pieces were rather long
and he struggled to play them without mistakes.
After the session of a few hours
he only managed to record several minutes.
When I found out about this I said to him,
"Record yourself in small episodes
repeating each one only three times.
This will allow you to play perfectly long enough
to make a recording
and you will not need
to repeat the piece over and over
in order to get everything right.
Simply choose the best out of the three takes
and move on."
