To Transcribe or Not To Transcribe? (Ep. 15)

Transcription-an essential tool for jazz musicians, but is it the only way to learn? In this episode, I dive deep into the debate around transcribing, without offering a one-size-fits-all answer. Instead, I encourage you to think about the process differently and reflect on the purpose of transcription in your own musical journey.
I’ll discuss:
• The importance of broadening your perspective on what it means to transcribe
• The usefulness of transcription and how to maximize its benefits
• Thinking beyond simply copying notes-focusing on the "how" and thought process behind an artist's choices
• Alternatives to traditional transcription and how to integrate them into your learning
• The balance between transcribing, listening, and discovering your own voice as a musician
By the end, you'll have a more nuanced understanding of what transcription can offer, and you'll be equipped to decide if (and when) it fits into your practice routine.
