My Daily Practice Routine

Description

Here is my set of exercises that I played when I was 14 years old and 34 years old. Back then, I didn’t know how important these exercises were, but now I constantly return to them and recommend the same to my students.

Many times, I underestimated simple exercises based on chords and scales. I tortured myself looking for difficult harmonic lines that were supposed to improve my skills. I also discovered that sometimes the best-sounding melodies are based on chord tones, and you don’t need to search for difficult substitutes to build tension. Remember to appreciate exercises on scales and chords; it’s very important, and I still do it to this day.
