Steps

  1. Choose a song or piece of music that feels good for the moment.
  2. Get comfy and ready to listen.
  3. Write down the instruments that will be in the song, and remember the order you wrote them, e.g. drums, guitar, bass, vocals, etc.
  4. Now listen to the song. For 8 bars listen to the first instrument in your list. Then for the next 8 bars move to the next instrument. Continue until you have passed through all the instruments, then repeat.

Tips

  • If you don't know what instruments are in the song or it's complicated, it's okay to choose what to focus on as you listen. But it's better to decide beforehand as this stops your mind from wandering.
