A small practice for the quiet opening

Original practice · Optional exercise · Listening between the notes

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A song begins with a sound that is easy to miss.
2. Listen again for what enters before the main voice.
3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
