Listening, Practice, & The Internet

iguessso · November 28th, 2012, 07:21 AM

Lately Ive fallen into the trap of spending more time searching the internet for tips and videos to help learn bebop piano.
I know my time is better spent actually pracricing at the piano or listening.

Just curious on how you guys do your listening. Portable? In living room on stereo system? On studio computer?

And how do you break this habit?

I spend 90% of my music time practicing and 10% listening.

My piano, computer, and stereo system are all in my studio.

My computer is my stereo system since I used to do audio editing, so I have a set of monitors attached to my computer. Also a lot more materials are in PDF form now so need computer to pull them up.
