 Re: What should I practice? Pre-University

Scales

Majors, minors, chromatic. In thirds, in fourths, in sixths, broken, returning. Slurred, tongued, in combination. Fear no key signature.

Arpeggios

Majors, minors, in triplets, in quarter & eighth patterns, dominant sevenths, diminished sevenths.

Everything else is built on these.


Baermann is a great book for that. Pick a set of scales and a set of arpeggios and go through them in two or three keys at a time. I find them not so much boring as relaxing... you know how the end product should sound, it's just a matter of finding the easiest way to get there. Their predictability can also be helpful as you work on intonation, articulation, and fluidity of fingers. I have not studied with him, but you cannot go wrong by being skilled at something so fundamental.

Good luck!
