Kaylyn - Musician's Mind Chapter 7

 Chapter 7: The Digital Brain

Summary: This chapter discusses the positive and negative consequences of the advanced technology for singers as well as the consequences constant screen time has done for our attention and therefore our learning process.

Key Concepts: Positives of technology: We have never been able to give ourselves augmented feedback so fast because of recordings of lessons and recordings in general. Negatives of technology: Our attention has been trained into not being able to focus as long, so we accomplish less in our practice because of distractions.

Connections: I just recently watched "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix and it was an interesting documentary to watch before this chapter talking about how technology has influenced us in a negative way. think it is so important to take note and realize our distractions and be able to minimize those, especially when we are practicing and trying to learn a new skill. This new age of multitasking is toxic to our attention span, which in return is toxic to our learning process. I feel like I regularly take advantage of my lesson recordings because I think its helpful for me to listen to old lessons even if it wasn't my lesson that week. I do want to be better at keeping my phone out of my practice sessions. I can see that this has been extra difficult since quarantine since I mostly practice in my house and when I do that I think about meal prep or laundry or every other 5,000 things I have to get done so my anxiousness doesn't help me focus either.
