Week 20. Summary

Well, I’m back. Returning to the daily practice after a vacation was kinda rough but after a week it feels as usual again 🙂

This week I’ve been practicing only 6 levels of rhythm and ear training. The hardest one for me was the third bar of level 4. I even had to decrease the speed to 80 bpm in order to wrap my head around it. Other patterns were not as hard at all.

I also watched Module 23, so the next week practice will be on it. Anyway, here’s the video.

The goals for this week were:

  • [Done] 6 levels of rhythm at 120 bpm
  • [Done] Daily ear training starting from all intervals

My goals for the next week:

  • Hey Jude chords, singing and melody at the original speed
  • Two more songs from the list playing and singing
