Practice Techniques
This Page is all about "how" to practice. I have developed this technique over many years and it is still evolving. Take a look.
Educational Documents
Documents for download and study represent all musical exercises for your further development. Includes all subjects, melody, harmony, and technique. Documents range from very basic knowledge to advanced concepts. Some of those need explanation which I can provide when you study with me.
Single Interval Studies
First steps of learning roots of harmony. Organized in symmetrical exercises. Watch HD video clips, read notes, learn fingerings, hear intervals, understand emotional content of intervals, the building blocks of music.
Mixed Interval Studies
After learning the single interval studies, these exercises are born of hybrids, the combination of multiple intervals into symmetrical patterns. Each of them are unique, yet all of them share they ability to move all across the neck of the instrument.
