Question:
As a full time worker (12hr shifts days/nights) living in a townhome complex my practice time is erratic.
What would you suggest as the best use of my 1 hr. practice time?
Long notes, scales, simple songs, tonal qualities, where should I focus my efforts?

My Response:
You probably want to work through a beginning class. You can purchase mine if you would like and if you do you can also send me a recording of yourself so I can give you better suggestions of what to work on.
At this point, more working on simple songs than anything else. Probably working on starting to learn the major scales. If you could work on one each week, that would be good.
I wouldn’t work on long tones quite yet. But you can play ballads (slow melodies). As you continue to play, your tone will improve, it will take some time.
Another option would be the Rubank Elementary Method.
