VIDEO: New York Philharmonic's Assistant Principal Librarian Sandra Pearson Shares a Practice Tip

The video is part of the NY Phil's Practice 30 series.

By: Aug. 13, 2020



New York Philharmonic Assistant Principal Librarian Sandra Pearson, who is retiring this season, shares an unusual practice tip to help internalize the music you're working on: writing out tricky passages.

Sandy explains that it helps forge a connection in your mind between the notes on the page and what you hear. Get some staff paper and a pencil, and enjoy getting into the flow of "drawing" music!

Can you guess what piece she is writing out before the video ends?
