Coordination Drills
Altering Rhythms
While you practice, altering the rhythm of continuous passages helps to increase speed.
There are many possible combinations that help to increase performance coordination.
Here are four ways that work great.
Snap it! Short-Long, Short-Long
Swing it! Long-Short, Long-Short
Group it! One Long note + Three Quick notes
Speed it! Three Quick notes + One Long note
Challenge yourself to find your best performance solutions. Enjoy being creative when practicing.
