Two-Hand Coordination Exercises 1

If this is new material for the student, it’s a treasure trove of skills that will apply to so much playing down the road. Much of it I could play by ear but it was great work to dissect the LH & RH rhythms into their respective beat patterns. Also there were several new patterns that were somewhat tricky to get at first, which means I’m learning something new, which is fantastic. Can you play RH half-note triplets over LH quarter notes without hearing it first? If so, maybe move on. If not, then you’ll get a lot out of this course.

Hands Down (and Coordinated), this is, without exaggeration, the best course that I have completed so far at PWJ! Until joining PWJ, I had been teaching myself from Piano Course Books. Never once, were there any exercises like these Coordination Exercises. These Exercises, in my opinion, are the missing link in the process of learning the piano. The ability to freely play syncopated rhythms in both hands is setting me free! I have completed the course and as the result of multiple passes through the Rhythm Exercises, I can now confidently play about 2/3 of these rhythms and now I feel that I am firmly on my way to becoming a complete pianist. Thank you Jonny! Great Stuff as always!!

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!

Great lessons for building rhythmic chops in each hand.

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.
