Re: Velocity Studies by Opperman

Kal says even Harold Wright had trouble with Intervallic Permutations. Nevertheless, he worked on them to teach his fingers to play unfamiliar patterns.

Intervallic Permutations consists entirely of arpeggio sequences on altered chords that do NOT appear in the standard exercise books. You feel like a beginner, because it's full of things you've never played.

The Opperman books are highly "medicinal." They're no fun to learn, and not much fun to play, either. They're strictly for learning how to play accurately.
