Range, technical, rhythmic, and key challenges occur progressively. Rhythmic challenges are paced to allow the teacher to emphasize a more thorough understanding of counting and meter. Lesson groups each have a balance of material for the week's practice with a measured dose of new challenges. Skills are introduced gradually and reviewed in subsequent lessons. Each lesson group includes a majority of tunes with some etudes, at least one lyric tune, a blues scale study and a practice chart.
