• work hands separately until easy, then put together

Ploger:

• Improvise your own rhythm on 5-part Lap Map

• Only add Lap Map rhythm to Longy when you can do the above step without mistakes

Theory:

• count out loud as you play, even if it’s slow and uneven – trust the process

Ice Skaters

• write in counting with ands
• count out loud – you can work this in a couple of measures at a time to make it easier
