Take a moment to look at the picture below. What does it say to you?

That's Miles Davis, the trumpeter, with his band in a recording studio in 1959.Press play on the Soundcloud link to hear what they made that day. Take a few moments to listen.
That’s the first track to “Kind of Blue.” The biggest selling jazz record ever. And is called a classic.I think how it was made is interesting, and I think there is a lesson for you and me.The recording of the album was completely improvised in the studio. Without any rehersals. In one take. One recording.Miles gave the band a very general direction. And then out came the music in a perfect form.They owned the moment.
So, what does that have to do with learning English?
Own English and Beat the Blackout
Ryan O'Shea
Most English language learners in Berlin have had 1000s of hours English practice and training.
I know that from 10,000 hours of teaching in Berlin at Wall Street English. Just like trained musicians, you have practiced, and practiced, and performed. And if you understand this then you are at good level.
However, even those at C1 have fears of blackouts and making mistakes, and apologise for their “bad English.”Let's stop that. Let's own that moment. Let’s communicate without fear.I want you to walk into a meeting, job interview, party, or a date and own it. Just like Miles and his band did in 1959.Contact me to make English your EigenEnglish.
