  • Bb major scale (two 8va), chords, arpeggios (one 8va) – hands together, for scale pause before each black key to think: ascending RH is automatic, so LH needs to do opposite finger (3 or 4), on descending, LH is automatic so RH will be opposite
  • Ploger: 6-Part Lap Map p. 68 improv and 6-part Longy Rhythm (separately)
