Please provide how you use recording as part of your routine practice. Any additional comments would be appreciated

Its nice to listen to a recording of a piece you have never heard before. When I was younger I would mimic my favorite recordings, I think this is ok but it should of course not become a habit. I think certain ideas of how music is expressed can be encouraged by good performances. You might do similar to what you like in a recording. It is very rewarding to discover the sound yourself without being spoon fed ideas from recordings.

I don't bother until I at least have the bones worked out and if being aimed to perform by memory i wil begin recording while still in rougher state. Tho allows me to catch things to improve that I am not aware I am doing or not doing befre they become habit or are learned improperly ad are difficult to be aware of in midst of concentrating on playing.
I actually find the better learned the less I feel need to record since once the playing is fluid and effortless I can direct more and more w my ear.
The goal is become proficient and aware enough ( developing this listening skill is key) that I can make decisions and create new expressive ideas while performing. This allows me to play a piece however I feel rather than simply how I "learned" it. My most successful and enjoyable performances on stage in the past have been where I felt the freedom and took advantage of it to actually take the risk to do something I had never done before w a phrase or section simply because I fancied to the vibe from audience moved me in that direction

Hi Dogperson,
A recording lets one sometimes notice things one wouldn't notice while playing at the keyboard. A recording only captures a thin slice of the sound presence, so maybe it isn't wise to modify one's playing too much based upon it other than based on identifying flaws in one's playing, or to record oneself too often.
Mvh,
Michael
