Focus
“Both hands should arrive as one musical event, not two separate decisions.”
Decode
- 01Both hands begin together on beat 1.
- 02Level 1: both hands on beat 1, held for four counts.
- 03Level 2: left hand held, right hand on beats 1 and 3.
- 04Level 3: left hand on beat 1, right hand on beats 1–2–3–4.
- 05Work between 45 and 60 BPM.
- 06Recover inside the pulse without restarting the loop.
- 07No inversions, advanced bass patterns or syncopation at this stage.
Practise Now
- 01Play two clean loops at your current level without stopping.
- 02Only move to the next level when both loops stay inside the pulse.
What you should be able to do
Your hands arrive together on beat 1 and you can hold a steady pulse through a full loop.
