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

Do p. 4-7 in the book. As these get easier, you may not need to do them every day.

Do p. 2-5 in book

• Be sure to count out loud every time you play these
• Do 3-10-3 for every 2 measures: play 2 measures 3 times in a row, wait 10 seconds, then play those measures another 3 times. Then move on to the next 2 measures and do the same thing, until you’ve done the whole song. Then play straight through once more.
• The day after you’ve done 3-10-3 with a song, then play the whole song 2-3 times, doing 3-10-3 on any measures you make a mistake
