    Hi Darwin,

    Yes! Downloading videos straight to iPhones/iPads has always been pretty tricky, but there’s an app (at least, for iOS devices) called “Documents by Readdle” which makes this process work much better now.

    So here’s how to do this:
    1. Go to the App Store and look for “Documents by Readdle” (btw, their free email app Spark, is also pretty awesome, both for iOS and desktop)
    2. When you open up the app, you’ll see a “Documents” folder with all sorts of folders and files in it. And at the very bottom right corner, you’ll see a tiny blue compass icon for the Safari web browser. Click on that.
    3. Now you’ll see a pretty normal-looking web browser. Use that to go to members.bulletproofmusician.com, log in like normal, and then navigate to whatever page and video you’d like to download.
    4. Once you’re on the page with the desired video, click the “Download Video” link in the gray box below the video.
    5. That will take you to a “Save File” page, where you can then save the video to your device. It’ll save it to your “Downloads” folder by default, and let you know when it’s done.
    6. Once you’re done downloading whichever videos you’d like to download, you can click on the blue folder icon on the bottom left, to go back to your documents screen and watch the videos you’ve downloaded in your “Downloads” folder within the app.

    Hope that helps!

There's an LIVE component too! (for educators)

If you’d like to explore some of the most essential skills and techniques in the course live, with a cohort of curious, thoughtful, supportive, and like-minded educators (and a few mildly irreverent or benevolently sarcastic folks mixed in to make sure we don’t get too serious), that’s also an option!

Starting Thursday, February 3rd, we’ll meet via Zoom once a week, and go through selected strategies related to effective practice, managing nerves, and achieving flow states under pressure. We’ll do some in-class playing experiments (don’t worry – you’ll be muted!), short weekly homework assignments, and small-group breakout sessions to help you integrate these new skills into your teaching.

This 6-week live course is normally $199, but is available at 50% off the regular cost when bundled with Beyond Practicing. For more details about the live course (and dates) CLICK HERE.
