YouTube video #
For reference here is my video on YouTube on exercises for the circle of 5ths. In this course I break down these exercises in more detail and show examples from classical and jazz repertoire.
This video is dense. I go through a series of progressively harder exercises at the keyboard. In my private lessons I usually assign one exercise a week. Only advanced students get through to the end of the exercises.
