  1. Thirty minutes a day on piano scales, chords, and arpeggios.
  2. My sad Bossa Nova foot patterns are moving into Samba territory.
  3. Student repertoire is being practiced daily. Though with over 100 titles taught weekly, only selected titles are reviewed.
  4. Work on updating my blogs is going full steam ahead.
  5. I'm working on new repertoire in drumming: classic rock and 21st century funk!
