Writing should always be kept short; however, we don’t always have a brief and we will sometimes have to write things out phonetically.
This is a list of 100 multisyllabic words. This is great for the theory student to reinforce fundamental writing techniques. This is great for the student trying...

I was having a lot of trouble with resident and residence whenever it would come up in dictation, so I made an exercise to help me out.
I wish I could make some dictation for this exercise, but I really don’t have the ability to do two-voice. I’m sure if you would send this to your teacher, he wouldn’t...

These are FREE finger drills are to help master the -TD stroke. I use -TD as a -th ending, in words such as: math, teeth, width, etc. It is also commonly used for verbs ending with the T sound in the past tense (adopted, eliminated, etc.)
FYI, I use wide keys for -TD, I think it makes it easier...

Anyway, while I was practicing I realized that I...
