Exercise 11—Class Exercise—One and Two Hand Exercises

Tap the notes above the line with your right hand; tap the notes below the line with your left hand. Tap both
hands for two-hand exercises. Counting out loud, practice slowly at first, then faster. (If you tap a pencil in one
hand and tap on the desk with your other hand, you will hear two different sounds for the parts. Bring a drum
and snare to class for even greater variety.)
