  • Do the Coordination and Ka Exercise above with and without a metronome. Follow the sequence layed out in the first basic coordination exercise.

  • To also practice your notation reading and writing skills, write a list of variations to play, and play them in that order, for example:
D k k D k k D k
D k k T r m D k

T k k D k k C k ... etc.

  • Tap your foot whenever you hear music. (Are you tapping ON the beat?)
