In IFR we learn to build a deep sense of orientation that accompanies us no matter where we might be on our instrument, and you'll find a great discussion about this topic on the IFR Student Forum. This is a forum created by IFR students to discuss the IFR method, ask questions and support each other in our music practice. It's free to everyone and you should join us! Here's the link:
