using the bebop Calisthenics even though I’ve only been working on the first few exercises for patterns 1,4,5
It’s a lot of work at first but seems like it would be of huge benefit in the long run?
KenI’ve been practicing all 7 fingerings from the get go with the Arpeggios and the cycle of 5ths using the vertical method. I have all 7 fingering down, doesn’t take long to memorize them 🙂
KenGood idea Miguel, I’m on Module 2 and there is a tremendous amount of work….Richie is right it will take a while to assimilate everything in M 2
KenYes Ken, i m also on Module 2 (i think we were the first ones here hehe), started on 14th of August ,i think.
I m now on Study 3, i have done all the Calisthenics and keep doing them now as a warmup routine (pick one at random and stay with it for the day).Doing Study 3 , i also do the other studies couple of times every day.
me about 5 years of jazz, but still never made the progress I thought I should have by now….Hopefully this program gets me there !
KenGuys,
The more you do the better. However, each person knows how much they can handle according to their level of proficiency. I present the exercises in a slow, as needed fashion so you won’t get too overwhelmed. It takes a while to get comfortable with all the fingerings and understand where everything is in terms of the intervals. For the record, it took me at least a good 2 years back when I first started to work on them, before I could feel semi comfortable with them.
