Challenging but fun
Loved learning rhythms. I’m still not as fast as you (fyi) I’m 69. But I kept doing it until I was smooth at every one even the triplets!
Rhythmic Fun for Both Hands
Great lessons for building rhythmic chops in each hand.
Cross-body coordination exercises!
Do you remember learning to pat your head and rub your tummy? Now switch hands! The patterns are really catchy, but I am surprised how easily I lose my place and need to start over. This is a course I will be adding to my practice routine.
Fundamental and challenging
The exercises look easy at the first look, but they build on complexity of rhythm and coordination. They are a fundamental tool for beginners and intermediate players.
Challenging and usefull
I learned, of course... but the most important for me was to separate rithms in my hands... Of course I have a lot of work in the future, but I startting to be confident with my capabilities in piano. Thank you very much!!!!
