One reason I think its a good idea to write it all out sometimes is that you can also treat the vocabulary as little “etudes” to help your muscle memory get comfortable navigating through your instrument. (there is some value in doing it that way but I always wanted to have a vocab book that was written out in all of the keys.) The books would usually just have an idea written in the key of C and you would have to figure it out in the rest of the keys.

Even though that was such a simple thought, once I heard this I began to look at music differently. “Ideas come from other people and yourself”, he said.Īha! So simple I thought to myself. I wasn’t sure if it was a trick question and because of that, I was having a hard time answering.
