If I wanted to be a better musician in 2024 this is what I would practice

In this TH-cam video I am really excited to share a new practice protocol I have been trying out for the last couple of weeks - I think it can be hugely beneficial for some music students who are looking to level up their playing.
The idea of the Productive Practice Protocol (as I like to call it) is to combine various musical disciplines simultaneously, leveraging your practice time.
Many people nowadays use Time management methods in their daily lives such as writing lists, time blocks and the Eisenhower Matrix to maximise their productivity.
The Productive Practice Protocol aims to be the musical equivalent of this.
In this video I demonstrate the Productive Practice Protocol on the chords of Herbie Hancock`s master piece Cantaloupe Island.

That was quite a workout. I appreciate the dedication to the art, and to doing the work it requires.

[@gb061166]

Thank you for your structured work. It helps me to further develop my improvisation. I bought a package of notes and explanations about it today. Keep going, it's fun!

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Wow! Great creativity and dedication at work here!

[@olanrewajuadagba955]

Thank you for sharing.

oh yes. Thanks for sharing!

[@djonakachopper]

Sounds good!

[@johnsavold]

I would love to see a video of how you created the midi play-along practice tracks. I've always though this would be a great way to practice.

[@JazzDuets]

OK! What do you need covered? I never practice without the tracks I make.

[@HB-ve4wi]

Wonderful 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@thatkuchguy]

Wow your intonation is fantastic with the synth! Can't wait to dive in to the revised book. Used your last version quite a bit in university

[@MrChuck365]

This is right up there with the Coker book. Good job.

[@JazzDuets]

very kind indeed

[@Saxman33]

Yes, i would like to know more about the midi practice tracks too.

[@CarlosSantiago-td9eh]

How do we study with you? Is there a possibility to study in tandem with you, i.e shared practice plans, etc. Thank you for your years of amazing videos, and words of wisdom.

[@Saxman33]

So Nick, when one is able to play these exercises flawlessly, how do you make music out of it? can you give a good demonstration please?

[@zahiircruz9178]

What is your set up on soprano?

[@Saxman33]

Nick, how can one find your videos on vimeo?

[@user-ed8dl8zs3q]
