"Strange Attractors...for those bored with the same old scales"  A set of odd exercises derived from Nicola Orioli's "The Scale Book" found on free-scores.com. Next month I will try to explain the"Strange Attractors" part of the name.
 
Player's quinte* of the month:  
 
"In the competitive environment of classical music, I wonder whether we are all so caught up worrying about what others will think, that the ability to truly create is lost in our own fears of third party comments. I challenge you to consider whether fear of judgement is stopping you from presenting your own unique contribution to the classical music industry."
 
 
Have fun playing! 
 
Sincerely,
 

John Gibson
