How to Slow Down YouTube Videos
Hi Reader,
Have you ever tried to learn a tune by ear, but gotten discouraged because the recording goes too fast? I have two tools to share with you.

If the performance you like is on YouTube, click the gear icon in the lower right of the video screen. Choose Playback Speed, and select which one you want. Numbers greater than 1 will speed up the recording. Numbers smaller than 1 will slow it down.

Or the call of the great outdoors or your favorite electronic device is irresistible. But a few minutes a day of practice is tons better than nothing at all. Everyone has a few minutes, even if it means going to bed a little later than you otherwise would. There are three basic steps to building a habit: 1. Anchor...
