Rhythm

4-Part Lap Map: improvise your own rhythm as your eyes are looking at the picture and following which beat you’re on

4-Part Longy rhythm:

  • Do this with tapping only beat 1 and whispering on dots

Think of which cause of error you made after you complete the above but had a mistake:

  1. Reaction: something new takes you by surprise. Cure: Eagle vision
  2. Anticipation: this can be daydreaming, or getting worried about a difficult part coming up. Cure: Eagle vision, get back into feeling your tapping, hearing your singing/whispering
  3. Looking Back: You look back to a mistake you just made and start talking to yourself about it. Cure: Tell the “bad coach” to stop, and keep moving forward
