My first post in about 2 years or so. I kind of missed this cool place! Had 5 surgeries, 2 elbow and 3 sinus surgeries, then I started a music company. Well I'm back!

I was chatting with Ricardo Morales a few months ago in Philly (on the phone, I live in California) and he said something kind of interesting and it made a whole lot of sense.

If he's preparing a piece and it's in the key of B, or C#, any key for that matter he practices all sorts of scales in that key to get his fingers, tonguing, arpeggios everything in sync. So if he gets the scales down smoothly playing the actual piece is a lot easier. I really liked that conversation! I need to call him again and say hello. Fun to talk to. He's so easy to talk with. Conversations can go anywhere, not just music, but this idea of his I feel was a really great trick, that really makes total sense. I think I've known him now since he was 21.
