I filmed the series of three videos like this - I'm sorry for the slight trim at the top, but I decided to keep it because I was in the flow when discussing the topic, and we can still see most of my face!

A departure from our usual - I wanted to share with you this 60-min spontaneous early-morning routine I put together this morning!
Please excuse the abrupt ending - I continued into some material that I wanted to save for the next video. This will be enough material for you all to dig into until next time!
It is recommended that you watch "Beyond the Arpeggios: Overview" and then watch this video.
1. Pick chord quality
2. Play the arpeggio in all 12 keys (choose ascending or descending, choose interval to shift through ex: half-step, minor 3rd)
3. Improvise lightly on root position arpeggio through all 12 just within the octave
4. Improvise a cadenza on each arpeggio without tempo/time res...
Great for increasing your tempo/flexibility on this as either a pianist/aspiring pianist, improviser on your instrument, or singer/solfeger!
This is great for a refresher on this exercise, or if you want to try playing (piano, improvise, sing!) along slowly with my narration included!
This is the first thing I do on flute every morning, a la Marcel Moyse from his book “De La Sonorite”. It’s great for warming up your embouchure, developing an even sound in all ranges, tightening up your intonation, and honing in on the tone you strive for. Great for all horns but I demo on flute!
One of my favorite exercises for developing range, getting used to fingerings, and working on tone clarity and evenness!
Here we focus on understanding and outlining arpeggios with solfege in jazz repertoire.
Oops! I just realized this version didn't have the cropped beginning and ending - sorry you have to see me walk on and off! It's brief!
