This Video is a demonstration one of the many things you can practice while driving.
This is the type of routine that can really help make a commute or any drive a great time to practice working on music, improvisation, learning tunes etc..
This example focuses on singing a short phrase from the standard Stardust.
You can sing the melodic fragment while visualizing the fingerings on your instrument while also visualizing the chord and numeric relationship of the melody to that chord.
You can learn many new tunes using this method while driving.
You can practice nearly anything that you can sing this way.
Keep in mind that without perfect pitch you can sing and imagine you’re in any key; just try to sing the pitches in a relative relationship to each other.
The nice thing about this is that you can sing in one key while visualizing a melody in all 12 keys.
~Enjoy!

Car practice used to mean something totally different to me. I used to sit in the car in the parking garage of my apartment building with my alto because it was the only place the neighbours wouldn’t complain about the “noise”. LOL
Dan, that’s funny, I used to do that in my ’64 Dodge Van. The back was open and I had a bench I could sit on and practice. Also had a tape cassette player and a light wired to the car battery to practice with. Yes, “noise” is a common description of music practice… sigh.
