While striving to gain control over my melodic material, I experimented with many different ways to practice. One of the systems I came upon was something I call "The Rotation." I enjoy practicing this way, because it keeps your mind actively engaged the entire time. It's very easy to "zone out" while practicing things in 12 keys. The rotation keeps things fun and interesting. I've found that after practicing in this way, my focus is much better when improvising. ©2014 Greg Fishman Jazz Studios. All Rights Reserved.
