Hey guys,
Given how much I love music and how short I am on time, I want to maximize the hour I spend on it (theory;ear training) each day, completely immersed. Let me know your thoughts on this and if there are any areas of study I should swap out.
This is done in Teoria:
Monday-Friday:
6 mins of note dictation (listening to intervals within a scale and how notes function in that scale)
10 mins of clef reading (seeing notes on a staff, hitting the right key on the keyboard -- big area of growth)
10 mins of harmonic progressions (my weak point; I'm pretty good with hearing intervals, bad with hearing chord changes)
4 mins Scale ear training (major vs minor vs harmonic minor vs melodic minor etc played all the way through)
10 mins rhythm exercises (making note of beat durations based on time signature)
20 mins of keyboarding/making beats
Saturday-Sunday:
Make beats all day! Learn the ins/outs of compression EQ etc
Once I get a good handle on the ear training/theory, I imagine that more of dedicated beat making time will make its way in to my weekday routine. Let me know what you guys think.
Hopefully, we can have a good discussion that will help many people with limited time figure out how to make the most of it.
