Refreshing my memory...

[kaizen]

I have recieved my associates degree in music, but i always felt like i could have done better but it just seems like the classes i took went too fast from one part of theory to another. I have a pretty good ear, but most times i found myself relying on my ear too much and not putting enough emphasis on the practicing and getting everything concrete.

Right now im working alot trying to pay bills and pay off student loans in hopes of going back to school to further my knowledge in music. I found this program at a store and checked it out but i dont really have a good idea where to start.

i was reading one post where someone said it would be best to work on problem areas first then the easy stuff a little later, but i kind of had the idea of just going from the beginning again and treat it as if i didnt take any classes just for the fact that i want it to be second nature whenever i have something in my head and just be able to put that idea down effortlessly.

I know that it would take some time doing it that way, but I feel that way would benefit me more just knowing that i had enough discipline to keep motivated to continously improve myself as a musician, and to show anyone that i work with that i can give them 110% as a musician.

I have loved music all my life and because of that i want to maximize my skills and become a complete musician. Any advice on what to do or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thank you for your time,

Hi,
It's always a good idea to freshen up the basics, no matter how advanced one's skills are. So I guess starting up from the first lessons again can't be bad. The tutors have been compiled by theory teachers from 2 of the best music schools in Denmark, and propose a progression based on pedagogical experience.
But of course, there is no dogma when it comes to music education and other approaches might just as well be as efficient as what I referred to.
