In this Youtube video I am really excited to share a new practice protocol I have been trying out for the last couple of weeks - I think it can be hugely beneficial for some music students who are looking to level up their playing.
The idea of the Productive Practice Protocol (as I like to call it) is to combine various musical disciplines simultaneously, leveraging your practice time.
Many people nowadays use Time management methods in their daily lives such as writing lists, time blocks and the Eisenhower Matrix to maximise their productivity.
The Productive Practice Protocol aims to be the musical equivalent of this.
In this video I demonstrate the PPP on the chords of Herbie Hancock`s master piece Cantaloupe Island.

My name is Nick Homes. I am a non genius musician who struggled for many years to find out the secrets of jazz improvisation. Throughout 40 years of playing, and obsessive investigation I have focussed on building systems of learning for my students so they can improve , and reach their learning goals with the highest probability whilst having fun!
