Take part in our January 2026 technical practice challenge! The aim is to practice scales for a month and reap the benefits of this type of practice. This take two forms:

• Your own practice plan, which you put together from the January Scales Toolkit and do as many times as you can over the month of January

• Weekly guided practice sessions on zoom, where you can play along with us as we practice scales, finger pattern exercises, ear training and playing tunes in different keys

Click here to sign up and download the practice resources. You will receive a pdf of the January Scales Toolkit (treble clef and mandolin tab), drum groove practice tracks and an information pack containing the joining details for the weekly zooms as well as other useful information.

Weekly zooms will take place on Sunday 4th Jan (6pm), Sunday 11th Jan (6pm), Saturday 17th Jan (3pm) and Sunday 25th Jan (6pm). These sessions will be recorded and shared with all participants.

The sign up fee is £20 which covers the download plus four zoom workshops.
