Daily Practise Check In, Tuesday 6th October
This is your daily practise check in. Either: 1. Tell us what you practised in the comments 2. Post a video or audio recording of what you're working on 3. Ask a question about something you came up against in your practise Or if you just want to let us know you showed up, comment "HERE". Today's question: What did you take away from last night's class? If you couldn't make it or aren't a VIP member yet, what are you working on?

One of the things I took away was the necessity of repetition, over and over the simplest things, to drive it into your fingers and your body, rather than just understanding the logic. What you said somewhere else about falling into it unconsciously later when improvising... And those little ghosty bows - I had done the free bowing course, but this put it in context.

Trying to lighten off on my crunchy bowing and get the feel of the rhythmic ghosty bowing that @Matt Holborn demonstrated last night.

Learning it isn't practising it
Something I said in Practice Club last night: when you're learning something, that's not practice, that's learning. Practice is repetitive. Getting a line right once is only the start. We repeat it in a methodical, boring way because we want to fall into it by mistake when we improvise. That boring bit is the bit most of us skip on our own, and it's what Practice Club is for. It's where we might take one line and repeat it together, live, on a Monday at 6pm UK. Come and join us: https://www.skool.com/jazzviolin/plans How many times do you repeat a line before you move on?

'because we want to fall into it by mistake when we improvise'; everything explained in half a sentence.

G intonation practice against a drone. Beginners class homework: G, C, C#°7 arpeggios, worked out the logic of the C#°7. Rattled manically and repeatedly over Lady Be Good backing track. Realised I needed a mix of focused practice and some free rattling.

Ok, got to stop being scared to share what I'm doing. Just up and down, kind of freeform relaxing after concentrating on the scale and shapes. So much worse when recording, aarrgghh.

@Lotte Cutts Thanks, I just have such a long way to go. But I'm travelling now, that's what matters!

Day 1 of the 5 Day Challenge!
It’s your first day! Congrats for taking the challenge. Comment “day 1” on this post so we can cheer you on and get cracking in the course in the classroom! In our first video lesson in the course we are looking at learning the melody to Lady Be Good by ear and committing it to memory, using it to bounce off of with some improv. Use this thread to ask any question or post your progress video when you have practised the steps in the video. Happy practising
