Week 4, Day 1
Week 4 Technique Summary
- Play through the entire first measure hands together, counting out loud with the metronome. Skip your eyes over to the third measure, but wait for the time of the second measure to go by. Continue playing every other measure.
- Play through the even measures (2, 4, 6, 8…etc).
In the same way we learn to read words by seeing the entirety of the word at once instead of sounding it out, we are working to take in large chunks of music as a whole. Skipping a measure, but making yourself wait until that measure concludes, allows your brain a moment to reset. Additionally, we are creating artificial disruptions aurally and physically in order to continue building our ability to maintain pulse and meet at the downbeat (even if it’s not physically or aurally what we are expecting).
