Does or did anyone struggle with holding the octave shape? Sometimes my hand doesn’t want to stretch and hold the shape. Do I get frustrated? Of course I do. But I have now added octave shapes to my warm-ups and practice I do before I do a lesson. I’m determined to get this, but I know it’s a struggle.

Octaves take… time and practice. And loads of it. Loads.

I seem to get it okay, but the moving to another octave, I always lose it. But even though it’s frustrating, I’m still enjoying it.

This was challenging for me also. It was the first module I slept on and came back the next day. Still was challenging but finally got it after many, many attempts.

Yep, early in the course I could do a couple of lessons in one sitting. But now it’s a lesson a day, if not over two days. I have a longer warm-up and daily practice of fundamentals I do before any lesson.
Pick the songs that you can nerd it out. This is one of mt favorite octave practice.
