For decades musicians have referred to the "woodshed" as a place for practice. The woodshed is where musicians can get away from the world to concentrate and work on their music. To "shed" a piece of music or a concept means to practice it vigorously. Hard work should occur at the woodshed, and it is also where musical and intellectual inspiration and enlightenment take place. The woodshed is also a place where no one can hear the mistakes that must be made in order to master a piece of music or a musical concept. When someone emerges from the woodshed, great music should follow. The ideas at Mel Bay's Woodshed will help musicians with their practice habits, environment, attitude and music. |
