Ava’s Piano Lessons

Rhythm
Longy rhythms (see sheet):
- do 2-parts: tap with LH on Left leg, sing the beat on the numbers, and whisper the beat on the dots
Improvise your own rhythms on the Lap Map:
- Tap LH on left leg and RH on right leg
- No need to whisper on the “dots” that you make up
- Sing on the numbers, be sure it’s the number on the leg you are tapping
