** Do this every day**

Rhythm: 6-Part Lap Map p. 68 improv

  • 6-part Longy Rhythm – do this without Lap Map, tapping on beat 1 only and whispering on dots. Use your good coach to remind yourself to go through the tough section first, then do entire right side, then start from beginning. When you can do this without a mistake, then you can add Lap Map
  • Try to keep going if you make a mistake – identify the cause of error, and apply the correct cure in time

Do Tracking page as before

Theory/Sightreading
