The Art of Practice and Top Score
Pianist Simone Dinnerstein completely changed the way she practiced after one "nightmare performance" where she suffered a memory lapse. In today's show, she joins host Fred Child in our occasional series on the Art of Practice. And Emily Reese, avid gamer and host of the popular podcast Top Score, joins Fred to talk about classical music and video games.
