My Bass Practice
Since starting playing bass, I have been videoing myself. You can look on my YouTube Channel and see a hundred of them.
I knew that at some stage I will feel that I'm not getting better, that I'd be PLATEAU'ing and that I needed to see my progress.
You'll see on the 90Day Walking Bass challenge, I received comments from fellow students who watched me play a year before on another 90Day Blues Bass Challenge when I just picked up the bass.
Their words really did warm my heart. They noticed!
Sometimes when you play everyday, you don't really know if it's effective, if you are only just playing the things that you know already, or are you learning more.
Ariane Cap's 10 week practice groups helped me focus on what I needed to practice. Some of the courses I took with her was during the 2022 year when I was in the Jazz After3 Programme & at University at the same time. Phew! Unfortunately, I didn't put my 100% in Ari's 10 week practice group but I did learn a lot.
I have broken up my bass practice pages on this website. I have tried to organise my playing, my practice, my challenges, and my Cohort. I have started on the Bass Pattern Book and I've videoed some of my practice.
