some assignments:

  • put your metronome on for quarter notes. start slow - something like 60 and then place three triplets in each click.  every week kick it up 10 bps
  • be conscious of the full "stick length of every quarter note you play. try walking a noticing quarters.
  • play the la riv scales in two ways. Always do both if you're doing them.  one - super slow and say and notice every "and"  two -fast
  • jazz chord study - write the names of the chords above the treble staff. most, but not all, are 7th chords.
