30 Minutes Piano - Running through Grade 1 & 2 pieces.

30 Minutes Drums. Yo Me Songo - working tricky parts up to minim = 70 and then playing the whole track at that speed along to Sibelius track.

30 Minutes Piano - Reviewing Grade Three pieces. These will take a bit more work to get back up to scratch.

15 Minutes Yo Me Songo

30 Minutes Bach Menuet in G

Thursday

30 Minutes piano:

Running through the same pieces as yesterday. I particularly like the Reinecke Allegro Moderato but think it sounds good played a lot slower than the composer orininally intended (nothing to do with the fact that it is easier to play!)

30 Minutes Bach Menuet in G

30 Minutes arranging a tune for Frith Street

Watched some of a Bob Berg DVD

30 Minutes Drums - Yo Me Songo. Playing A Section Patterns along to CD

Another 30 minutes Piano - Allegro Moderato and Wonderful Tonight.

30 Minutes Drums - Yo Me Songo Page One tricky bars over and over (lots and lots) from minim 50 - 70


Also this is why I LOVE Steve Gadd:

Tuesday

Played tennis AND went to the gym yesterday in an effort to work off a weeks worth of too much Italian food and red wine.

This morning:

30 minutes Piano. A run through each of the pieces from yesterday and then Biehl's Allegro Grazioso and a little look through Reinecke's Allegro Moderato. I'd forgotten how much I like some of these pieces.

I have to go to town today to sort out my phone which died while I was away :(

Back... (version 5)

I'm struggling a little to adapt to the daily routine after returning from Italy. I tried a little piano yesterday but gave up in frustration. This morning was much better. I've decided to run through some of the classical pieces I learned last year to refresh my memory.

This morning:

30 Minutes Duncombe Gavot/Kirnberger Minuetto

30 Minutes Vivaldi Autumn/Dunhill Song of Erin

30 Minutes Gedike Kummer

Drums: 40 Minutes improv & playing along to some Jeff Porcaro and Carlos Vega

Piano: 30 minutes Balazs Trudging

Hopefully more to come...
