So obviously the best place to start any journey is at the beginning – and I am not very good so baby steps suit me just fine.  Last night we went over the C Major Scale

My challenge this week is to:

  1. learn the scale (doing alright on this)
  2. learn to play it on the whole, half & quarter notes
  3. learn to play it to a metronome – optional (who are we kidding – - I’ll make myself do this)
