Technical stuff

I've just sat for (and passed) 6th grade (Australian Music Education Board, don't know what the US equivalent is). My playing is OK, but I was not so good on the technical work, scales etc etc.

I have put hours & hours into scales & arpeggios, but I don't seem to have mastered them, they are not second nature to me the way they should be. Someone suggested working with the cycle of 5ths, and that has made a lot of sense. Start with C scale up & down, play the tetrachord up to G, play a G scale, tetrachord to D etc That helps in 'placing' the scales.

Any other thoughts, recommendations for books, studies etc would be gratefully received. I'm obviously not going to get any further until I've integrated this into my playing.

Persistence furthers!
