Just found a fantastic way to practice scales and arpeggios. Pick a scale and say aloud the name and details of that scale, for example 'Eb Major Scale Both Hands' or 'G Minor Arpeggio Left Hand' and then play it. I am finding my concentration actually improves doing this as I feel like it might be an ABRSM examiner saying what I'm saying and so I feel like its better preparation and I'll know what to play in the exam room. I've spent an entire morning doing scales and arpeggios this way (with intermittent tea breaks) and you know what......I'm 99.8% perfect on my scales and arpeggios at Grade 3 level (plus I've managed to squeeze in a Paul Harris Sightread test at g2)

That's something positive for a change, eh???


That is a really useful trick! Well done on your accuracy!

I've found out a new way to practice scales and pieces - do them with the radio on (not Radio 3 or Classic FM but Capital or any other downmarket manic chavvy rubbish) For maximum distraction that will test your concentration to the max!

A couple of months ago I had an oboe solo in an orchestral piece and I was finding it very hard to play the first note properly (even though technically it was an easy note). My teacher told me to put the radio on and practise counting a bar in my head and then playing my note. Surprisingly enough, this worked smile.gif

I have to concentrate twice as much with Welsh as I do with English so I've been putting Radio Cymru on as that REALLY distracts me! though the reception here is dreadful as BBC Hereford and Worcester's Redditch transmitter is almost on top of them here.

Naughty Nicki, mad.gif you shouldn't be heavy handed with your piano scales...think of a mouse running up a ladder! Heavy handedness with them is my weakness with scales, they sound like a stomp which I'm trying to correct through repeated playing!

If you are talking about http://www.graze.com/ --

I have not. However I have seen my colleagues eating from them and have noted that it feels to me like a lot of money to pay for stuff which I could assemble myself. I don't tend to eat the stuff in them, but if I did, I would buy in bulk and make up my own. I cannot speak for other people's concept of value - it could be that my colleagues feel that 3.79 is worth the convenience. I'm not saying this in a judgemental way; it's just not worth it in my own personal value system.

Yes, that's what I mean.
It's not stuff i would assemble myself. Most of it I probably wouldn't think of and buying in bulk wouldn't work for me as things would go off before I ate them. The snack size variety is the sort of thing that would suit me and it looks like you get a surprise mix from the items you tell them you like.

I tried it for a while as I had some money off coupons for it, making them only a couple of quid each and I have to say I really liked it. I tend to snack on really unhealthy stuff like crisps and chocolate, and this was an easy way of having healthier snacks during the day/evening... And its easy to cancel or suspend deliveries if you want too... lots of new stuff always coming out too, and very fresh and tasty. Like Corenfa says if you can be bothered doing it yourself it probably is much cheaper, but theres no way I personally would have bothered too... I supplemented it with a piece of fruit to snack on too and it was really filling. It also made me more aware of other healthier and tasty food!!

A friend of mine had them delivered to the office for a while. Like corenfa I used to think I could make them more cheaply myself. I didn't because I know if I buy in bulk I tend to eat in bulk, and although nuts and seeds might be healthy in smallish portions they're not if you over do it.

One thing I did like was the concept of getting a little "present" every day. Because it's delivered and you don't know exactly what it contains I imagine it can be a nice little moment every day.

Would be good to play this at a concert or an adult learners event, oh hang on I'm in that part of the UK that everyone else outside of it despises as a working class hellhole. So none of those of course.

...and from happy to distinctly not happy in one post mad.gif As someone who's been heavily involved in these events over the years, I find that comment rather off-putting : you clearly don't have the slightest clue how much effort I and many other forum members spend putting on these gatherings across as much of the UK as we can manage. mad.gif


Adult learner events are organised whereever there is the demand for them. And quite rightly so. It would be totally pointless to organise them in areas such as this as only one person (myself) would turn up. My comment Barry was NOT intended as a criticism for the wonderful events yourself and katyjay and sbhoa organise in your respective parts of old Albion.


OK, apology accepted. There are more people than you in Birmingham/the West Midlands who'd be interested, by the way. But please be careful how you word things like that in the future : it was not your most shining moment on the forum!

I am from the Midlands


But in Lee King speak (without of course revealing your location), you're not a local... rolleyes.gif


The West Midlands region, sometimes called the Heart of Britain includes Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire the Black Country and the Second City.

I am East Midlands, but still Midlands!
