Quotes from Sergio Carolino’s Inside the Practice Room:
“I work mostly on scales and arpeggios. I work on dynamics a lot, like extreme dynamics. I try to go real extreme… it might seem that it's very mechanical, but I try to be always musical. So I try to use scales, arpeggios, all this technical stuff in a musical context that I'm going use in real life.”
