My students are used to me regularly recording there pieces (ready for performance or not!) for assessment monitoring. I would pull it out press the quick access record button and ask them to play it again and see what happens. If they missed the same bit out then I would play back the recording and ask them to point at each note as they hear it on the recording!!!
