Just thought I'd mention goals again! They work so well for me! I learn something. I play something. I have this prepared by this date. I record this on zoom on this date. I work hard to achieve those goals. I move them up on my list of priorities. I don't give myself too many. I make sure that I choose goals that challenge me and are within reach. I work hard on the goals. I pretend they are real. They sort of are real right? If you have goals and have priorities AND manage them you will get better on the vibes!

Very simple to learn, try to do it fast. Definitely an exercise to have in the back of your mind.

Hi All,
Time to announce July's program. It opens with "America the Beautiful" by Bob Masteller, musician and owner of the popular Hilton Head Island Jazz Corner. (I still can't believe they've been open every night with jazz on their stage for 14 years!) Their first artist was the incredible George Shearing. I understand Bob is a new member here.

Ok, here's my final. Do your. Play the tune. Anything, do something! Play the head, take a solo. Just play the head.... do something!

This is from our sister site, www.trumpetworkshop.com. I should put up more stuff from there as I think it's good stuff! Joe is a great player and teacher!

I've been playing scales 15 minutes a day and totally digging what I'm coming up with. I like being good at alternate sticking which I means I do that the most. So I've been forcing myself to come up with double stickings for scales. I can feel it in my muscles when I do these scales and some of them are tricky.

Instead of doing everything around major modes I've been messing around with different modes mainly for the sounds.

Here are two scales and there sticking.

For the one in Ab start (of course) with L and then start with R. Actually this is G Locrian, right?
