Practise Diaries — post your check-in here 📔
This is your spot to log what you're working on, whenever you practise. No pressure to post daily, just whenever you've had a session and want to note it down or share it. It could be something you've been working on, in your own time or with lessons with me. Anyone in here can post! Comment below with: 📅 Date: 🎻 What I worked on: ⏱️ Time practised: 🎉 One win: 🤔 One thing I'm stuck on: Doesn't need to be polished. A quick video or voice note works just as well if you'd rather show than write. I'll be dropping my own practise notes in here too, not just replying to yours. And if you've got a spare minute, leave a comment on someone else's check-in as well. Even just a "nice work" will help us all feel motivated to keep on keeping on! Drop your first check-in below 👇

@Rachel Coleshill Yes, that was of course a joke. Thx. How is Daphne coming?

@Tamsin Haggis I’m not sure what you mean by “stuck on the resisting the discipline of learning licks”. Do you mean you’re having trouble forcing yourself to do that?
Twinkle Twinkle Guessing Game
Lets play a game. Here's a simple melody you probably all know (see my video). I'd love you to post your own variation of it in the comments. Then, based only on what you hear, have a guess at the musical background or influences of the person who posted above you, and the person below you. Classical? Folk? Blues? Something else? Do more than two if you're enjoying it. The idea is to show how everyone has a unique voice, and how even the simplest melody comes out differently depending on the music we each know best. Your version says something about you, whether you mean it to or not. Have fun with it!

Jazz funk fusion? Kidding of course. sounds like Celtic fiddle or American derivations of Celtic fiddle to me.

Matt – – I don’t know if this is the right place to mention this, but I’ll give it a shot. I got your book on enclosures, but I don’t understand one part. You say to combine exercises 2a and 2b but I don’t see what you mean. A measure or two as an example would go a long way. For quick reference, the relevant pages are attached.

Sonny Stitt Transcription
I'm still working on this at the moment. I took a short moment whilst my son was napping today to try and get these first 3 choruses up to speed. Not quite... Not bad but it needs a lot more slow practise.

Just realized I’m a tad flat the whole way through…😕

Thanks! On the intonation, I blame the sax. I’m not flat; maybe Charlie Parker’s just playing sharp the whole way through…😜. (Or maybe not…).
