Sunday, May 6th - Art Loft

In attendance: Victor, MB, David, Martin, Glenn, Alex

The first half of the meeting was spent with circulating in C Major in 4 octaves, first in thirds then chromatically. The second half of the meeting after the break was spent circulating C Major triads in two different ways.

Some comments/observations made by Victor during this (rather intense) work:

- It would be useful in the moments where we make mistakes to observe and note the "person" that appears in that moment, such as:

The "Gotta Get It Right" Guy
The "What Was My Note Again" Guy
The "Did You Make A Mistake Or Did I" Guy
The "I Can't Have Made A Mistake" Guy
The "You Took Too Long To Pass The Note" Guy
etc.

- Victor noted that there are many "maps" of C Major, all useful, and the more we have immediately available, the less likely we are to get lost. Certain maps, when available, can ease the transition into another map. Some maps (and there are many others):

C Major chromatically
C Major in 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, 6ths, 7ths
C Major triad arpeggios
C Major 7th arpeggios
etc.

- Finally, Victor noted that it would be very useful to understand how we each learn. We spend much time trying to learn in a hit or miss fashion. If we understood how we learned, we could use that to improve the speed and clarity with which we learn something.
