The Art of Practice

The road to the concert hall is paved with countless hours spent alone in the practice room. In today's show, we continue our series on the Art of Practice. Fred Child visited with flutist Julia Bogorad-Kogan to find out more about her practice routine. And PT Young Artist in Residence, pianist Charlie Albright, talks about what it's like to combine a whirlwind concert schedule with the life of a full-time student.
