In this episode I discuss how and what to practice on your instrument. I break it down into categories.:

Scales and Arpeggios in all interval combinations 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, 6ths, 7ths/ Odd groupings like triplets, 5, 7 note groupings. All Triads and Seventh chords of the Major, Melodic Minor and Harmonic Minor Scale followed by misc. scales like Tonic and Dominant Diminished, Whole Tone, Pentatonic and Chromatic Scales.

Repertoire:

Working on any new or old repertoire. Pieces for concerts or recitals or and music that you have performed in the past or are performing in the future.


Ear Training:

Intervals, Solfege, Dictation and Transcription. Check out some of my ear training videos on my channel.

Music Theory:

Work on what you don’t know fluently. Counterpoint, Melodic and Harmonic Linear studies for musical analysis. Harmonic movement like Secondary Dominants and Diminished 7th chords. Common and Unusual Resolutions and Cadences and forms like Sonata, Variation, Fugal Writing etc. Chord spelling and added note, suspended and any non chord tones.

Sight Reading:
