Marshall, In addition to the very good replies so far, I would recommend that you play the octave with the thumb and fourth (ring) finger, instead of thumb/pinky. This is a pinao "playing" technique that was recommended to me years ago in lessons. It really helps, in my experience.

Question is, would an audiologist know which ear plugs are best? Is it possible to get ear plugs that block out oo much and we wouldn't be able to hear the beats especially in the higher registers?
