Dave Lalama...Day 6: My ACTUAL Last Workshop

Now I can say I've had my final workshop with Dave (sadly). We've covered a lot of ground in the past 5 sessions and we covered a lot of ground today. Boy, do I have a lot to practice this summer! Which is good, since I'll be spending six weeks working at an intense music camp. I always know I have to practice, but it's hard when I don't know exactly what to practice. When someone flat-out gives you exercises and scales to practice, at least you have a jumping off point. So yes, I have a lot to practice, but it's reassuring to know where to start. I'm still getting the hang of diatonic sevenths in all twelve keys, and then I'll move on to diatonic sevenths in all minor keys. Then I have to master the whole-half diminished scale, and then the half-whole diminished scale. I look forward to the day where I am fluent in every key, and Dave's teachings and advice will help me get there.
