While I think I've learned a lot by doing this and have certainly advanced my abilities, lately I've been feeling like I'm just rushing from one tune one course one day to another and I'm not focussing enough on the lessons or scales or even tunes that I need to be learning. Sure at the end of each session I can

Saw this on a Facebook Comment and am copying it here so I can always find it: here's the Jim Campilongo practice method, which I find is an excellent approach to deliberate practice: The amount of time given to each category depends on strengths and weaknesses. This can be done over 1 hour or 8 hours. 1.) "Breakfast"...Warm up with arpeggios and scales. Apply the arpeggios to a song ( "Up a

It's been such a long time since I've done anything for Illustration Friday, and this is kind of a happy fluke - these were originally grey faces, but the paint took another direction and .. well ..

A fun and informative session was presented tonight at Montreal Girl Geeks by Anna Goodson, the well-known artist rep.

One of my goals of singing karaoke is to add to my repertoire of French songs. Here is a song I "discovered" recently in the catalog, that I really like. Even if it is a bit sad. Hope you enjoy it!
