Filming your music practice to improve faster
By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026
Short answerFilm short sections, watch back immediately, note one thing to fix, play again, and keep a weekly clip of the same piece to hear progress.
Why it works
You hear and see things on playback you miss while playing: timing, posture, tension.
The loop
- Record one section.
- Watch it back.
- Pick one fix.
- Record again.
Track progress
Film the same piece once a week in the same setup. Comparing months apart is motivating.
Questions
Should I post practice videos?
Some musicians do; progress posts often connect with people.
