Sylvie
How many minutes to practise: 30 a day
What to practise: Hi Sylvie! For each pattern in the “HAND EXERCISES OPEN THREE-STROKE RUFFS FROM THE DOWNBEAT AND UPBEAT” section, write the counting above the notes in pencil. Also, practise playing those patterns.
How to practise effectively: Once you finish writing the counting, ask one of your parents if you did it correctly. When practising the patterns, count all of the sixteenth notes out loud (even the ones you don’t actually play).
