Is it dangerous to listen to recordings in order to help with memorization?
Never before has there been such a wealth of recorded viola music available, and it would be a shame for anyone who loves the instrument to miss hearing as much of it as possible. At the very least, one should be familiar enough with the recording to immediately recognize playing a wrong note or rhythm. Listening to recordings and/or your own practice tapes, both studiously with score in hand and passively as entertainment while driving or doing the dishes, etc., can significantly shorten the learning curve, reduce dependence on the score sooner, and inspire your own musical ideas for next practice session – simply because it makes this material percolate in your mind.
