Q&A: Should advanced musicians skip ahead in IFR?

In this video Q&A, an advanced trumpet player asks if he should skip over the beginning IFR materials and go directly to the IFR Standards Workouts. I explain that actually the situation is quite the opposite, that advanced players will get the most value from the very first activities in the IFR journey. The reason why is because it's in these first activities that you will learn to make the connection between your ear and your instrument. It's actually the later stages of the IFR method that advanced players will find very easy. But for any advanced player who struggles to play by ear, it's in the very first IFR activities that you will learn the foundational skills to fill in these gaps.
