today's practice focused on bits of language and expanding on ideas, as well as practicing enclousures. i'm taking a step back from bebop scales for now. major 251s are completed and minor 251s are next.

I have a huge Christmas gig coming up next week so I begun the task of gathering and arranging out the setlist and testing what keys and songs I'll need to shed specifically over the next few days.

practiced some Monk tunes - Criss Cross - Rhythm-A-Ning also worked on more major 251s (9/12). practicing major bebop scales by starting from the root, 3rd and 5th (2/12).

practiced major 251s, the chromatic scale and learning major bebop scales. - major 251 progress (6/12) - major bebop scales progress (1/12) once i get these down, my next goal is to tackle: - minor 251s - dominant bebop scales

worked on some tunes by Bobby Timmons. in progress: - This here - Turn Left also worked on hand independence and internalizing rhythm.
