Hi David,

I've been addressing the LOA program mostly in a linear fashion, first the study song, then the accompaniment, then the solo study, etc. I've done it this way because it keeps my study simple as I always know what I'm working on and also because I have limited time I thought it best to devote a dedicated 30 minutes a day to one topic rather than parsing the half-hour out between four or five different lessons. Still, Is this the recommended procedure? Would I be better served addressing everything every day, even if only for five minutes per subject? Should I pair them up, say ten minutes for metronome solo study and twenty to the major topic? 

Thanks in advance,

Ace

Hello Ace. All of those

Hello Ace. All of those methods can be effective. Experiment, staying with one method for a couple of weeks and see which of the methods work best for you.
