Arguably the most important you can do with anything you learn is to try to use it with real music so that you can ingrain the information. At Muse Eek we call this “changing the context.” If you change the “context” in which you apply something that you are practicing it will go deeper into your memory. Also by applying musical ideas to real music you now incorporate rhythm and all other aspects of music at the same time. This is crucial to getting to point of naturally using the any technique in a musical situation.
