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?

I’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 🙂

Yes 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.
Guys,
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.
