Thursday, September 24, 2009. Here's how I divide up the major scale for purposes of fingering:.

http://kristinparkermusic.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-chord-profile-vids-posted-new.html
Monday, December 28, 2009. New "Chord Profile" vids posted, new perfect pitch course found. I posted a playlist called "Chord Profiles" on my youtube page, youtube.com/kristinparkermusic. You'll a hear a chord and then a little melody that makes use of that chord. Listening to stuff like this has helped me with my ear training. I'm also excited about http:/ www.pitchpaths.com. Cheap, so far effective perfect pitch course. So here's to ear training! Monday, December 28, 2009. Unit 5 Blues documents.

Kristin Parker Music: Finger independence helps with sight reading
http://kristinparkermusic.blogspot.com/2009/09/finger-independence-helps-with-sight.html
Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Finger independence helps with sight reading. Working on the finger independence trills has dramatically helped my technique and I've noticed that this has helped my sight reading. When your fingers are equally strong, then you don't have to be as picky about what finger you use to play what; this helps to make sight reading speedy because you don't have to pause every few bars to work out the fingering.

Kristin Parker Music: #4 Drills to tighten things up . . .
http://kristinparkermusic.blogspot.com/2009/09/drills-to-tighten-things-up.html
Monday, September 21, 2009. 4 Drills to tighten things up . . . Wow, seeing the diagonals makes things soooooooo much easier. I don't get lost moving my way around the fretboard, I can slide inside and outside of different shapes and I know exactly where I am on a piano keyboard. I still hit some wrong notes, though.

Kristin Parker Music: August 2009
http://kristinparkermusic.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 29, 2009. So I've gone the whole nine yards and started a youtube channel, etc. First thing I posted were a few ideas on piano technique. Everything else that's coming is guitar related. It's going to be intense, guys. And so worth the work! Curious if anyone else sees the fretboard the way I do. Saturday, August 29, 2009.

Kristin Parker Music: Daily Update
http://kristinparkermusic.blogspot.com/2009/11/daily-update.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. Working on strengthening the 4th finger by doing finger independence exercises targeting just it. Right now, I'm at 60 for both hands. Glad that I finally found my mix (what I refer to as my 'cheesy sexy voice'). Now it's a matter of making that mix very consistent. I'm working on Words Get in the Way and seeing if I can keep the tone throughout the song. Monday, November 16, 2009. Subscribe to: Post Comments (RSS). Unit 5 Blues documents.

Kristin Parker Music: An "a-ha" moment!
http://kristinparkermusic.blogspot.com/2009/09/a-ha-moment.html
Monday, September 21, 2009. My work on diagonals is paying off. I saw a grand diagonal of E4s all the way across the fretboard from string 1 to string 6. That was exciting because it was a moment of complete peripheral vision: in other words, I can see where a particular scale is in every place it happens all over the fretboard in one glance. That has never happened before . . . Monday, September 21, 2009. Subscribe to: Post Comments (RSS). Unit 5 Blues documents. The virtual keyboard is.
