Jen Cluff has made an arrangement with MP3 accompaniment of the T&G daily exercises which she has made freely available.
The linky from her site is only for limited downloads so she has suggested people pass it along themselves.
I am uploading it to my own webspace, so if you are interested let me know by PM or email and I shall give you the link

I haven't downloaded these yet as they have a restricted download, so I'll leave to others.
However, I do have a question about T&G .
Does anyone know if there a theory or "reasoning" behind the choice of using the melodic/harmonic minors in the particular way that T&G did ?
The way I see it T&G4 is set ouot as follows:
major scale game but last half bar is lead in to the relative harm desc
1/2 bar of melodic asc 1/2 harmonic desc
rest of minor game based on melodic 2nd to last bar has melodic asc then harmonic desc
Then into the next key (cycle of 5ths)
Is it set out this way to maybe "embed" some technique or whatever ? Does anyone play it another way maybe rearranging the minors ?
Cheers

I've no idea - I've wondered myself about the logic, never read anything behind it.
Yes, it's a restricted download which is why I didn't post the link here. I have, as she suggested, downloaded it myself and made it available though obviously I'm not about the publish the linky on a public forum, I don't want my webspace providers doing their nut over overuse if it came up on Google or something! But I can pass on the link if people contact me via PM.
