Author: Brenden Lowe : Professional Jazz Pianist and Jazz Piano Educator January 4, 2024 Duration: 1:31:08
I gave out the planning aspect in my last podcast episode. How to organize your goals. How to rank them and prioritize them. How to make a plan, and how to revise your plan. If you haven't listened to that episode, you'll want to do that now, before listening to this. Now, I'll tell you WHAT to practice in order to reach your goals fast. The more you can focus in on the exercises I give in this lesson, the faster you'll reach your goals. I promise you. But careful, don't get distracted by other shiny objects. Stay true to your goal and your practice and you'll make more progress than you ever have before. By the way... My Accelerator program and BIG Holiday sale is now open through New Years!
