Saturday

20 Minutes Bach, concentrating on the middle section ar 40bpm and then running the whole piece at 40, 50 and 60 bpm

15 Minutes Mintzer Etude 1 at 40, 50, 60, 70 bpm

I then dug out my copy of the Mark Levine Jazz Piano Book and spent 30 Minutes working through the three note voicings chapter - Playing the 2/5/1 progression working round the cycle of fifths.

I have reached a point with my piano playing where I am enjoying learning and playing classical pieces but I need to take further steps towards using the piano as a compositional tool. I'm hoping that the Levine book will give me the knowledge and skills to do this.
