"Graduate" This School in 3 Months! (Practice Regimen)

[Jak Angelescu]

I just wanted to give everyone a head’s up who gave me feedback on this. I really have NO clue where I thought that this idea would be appropriate. I have tried this method yesterday and today and it really isn’t practical. So this is what I’m doing now:
I do three lessons for 20 minutes each on Monday. I take notes, watch the lessons and get the basic concepts down. Then for Tuesday-Friday I practice utilizing all three lessons for an hour each day and resort to the school for a ‘refresher’ should I need one. I think when I did this, the ‘graduation’ time was about 9 months. Seems a little more reasonable and realistic! I also am taking good notes and writing down practice ideas.

When the school first open I made it a goal to watch every video. To get the idea down of what each video meant and whether that idea or technique interested me. I went all the way to sweeping I think. Some videos I completely didnt get. Others I did. I took notes of scales in my book. The mode equations. And some arpeggios. Etc.
Point is I never did go back to them until the homework. There were some I did rewatch cause I loved the concept but because I didnt soend extended time on certain lessons I never understood some other stuff. Now that we’ve spent time on lessons I’ve noticed stuff I didnt the first time.
I guess what I’m trying to say is if you didnt think you could take let’s say a year to go through the videos you can definitely skim through them and spend about a half hour on them. But I also strongly suggest going back and spending extended time after you do this. Watching them for a 2nd or 3rd time will be a huge help in understanding the small stuff. Examples are a huge help too with notes and your own materials.
