Delinquent

Already, I'm being a delinquent. But not in terms of my practicing, but just in terms of my blogging about my practicing. I have been working hard, and have been fostering many new ideas. My reason (excuse) for my absence is that I wanted to post my 15-minute warmup that I do every day, and right now I'm currently without Sibelius (the music notation software I use.) I will be getting a copy of it today, so the plan is to post the warmup tomorrow.

In the meantime, I am also a fan of many other blogs, including one written by my good friend, Chris Donnelly. In his most recent blog post he talks about writing down goals for the new year. This is a great idea, and something that I am doing this year. My goals aren't fully formed yet, but it is definitely getting me to think about some different musical goals.

I have a new little project I'm starting to work on that I'm kind of excited about. I'm going to lift Peri's Scope off of Bill Evans' "Portrait in Jazz." My plan is to learn the melody and solo on the drums, while playing Bill's comping rhythms in my feet. Should be fun!

Anyways, blah, blah, blah...tomorrow I will post the warmup.
