Busy Few Days!

The last few days have been hectic:

Thursday - Work, gym, gig
Friday - Work, rehearsal
Sat - Youth Band rehearsal, rehearsal, gig til v late
Sun - Youth band rehearsal, gig
Monday - Work, private lessons, gym, sleep!

I actually have a little time off in the next few days so I hope to get some more practice done. Since looking into the diploma I have started working on my uptempo jazz playing as one of the pieces is a rather swift 300bpm.
I ordered 'Funkifying the Clave' which contains two more tunes from the repertoire list. It arrived on Sat so I have flicked through it and listed to the CD a few times. I had some spare time at work yesterday afternoon so I programmed a bass Tumbao into Sibelius and practiced some of the basic patterns from the Songo chapter of the book and then ran through the different sections of the piece 'Yo Me Songo'
At the moment I am working at a VERY slow tempo!

Piano:

20 Minutes Scales
20 Minutes Beginning to see the light. A quick run through and then working on tricky areas.
30 Minutes Bergonzi. All permutations @ 72, 76, 80bpm
