TWELVE MONTHS
|
There are twelve months in a year.
I encourage my students to study different things throughout the year. Not
just scales, arpeggios, chords and performance songs. I like to see them
working on a variety of subjects that might otherwise elude them. Toward
that end, each month has it's own major and relative minor key and each month
has a selection of groups or performers that may offer an area that the student
has overlooked or even avoided. |

PLEASE
. . .send in your ideas. As you
can see there are some months that have no category. Others may not be
worth keeping. Any suggestions? If
so, send them here: Suggestions
Our thanks to Leslie
Stephens and Dan Halberg for their suggestions.
