Dave. It feels like I’ve been working on Level 4 forever, but I also feel I still have a very long way to go. I’ve gotten through 2 study songs (Gary’s Blues and Take It Easy Now) and as you know, I’ve also completed Improv Study 1 Chorus Forms AAA and AAB. In addition, I’ve also spent time on Solo Study and Movement Exercises. At this point, I need some advice on how best to approach the rest of Level 4? Should I go through the lessons one at a time (perhaps, in the order in which they’re listed) or should I work through the remaining lessons simultaneously? Maybe I’m just feeling a little overwhelmed.

Hello Jerry S. I would say to

Hello Jerry S. I would say to work on two things that you haven't completed as of yet at the same time. This way you don't get bored with just working on one thing, and with two, there's not too much that you get overwhelmed. Send in material as you finish it as well.
