Right And Left Hand Synchronisation

This is an exercise that I use to help synchronise both hands.  Be sure to adhere to the both using the correct left and right hand fingering. The string skipping may take some time to negotiate.

Because of the melodic and rhythmic cycle that this exercise crates I will at first have students play this for thirty seconds at 120 b.p.m aiming for no fluctuation in either tempo or dynamics.

Once this can be played with consistency it is worth extending the duration to one minuet. This element of the exercise makes it then as much about listening,  and focus as it is about physical skills.
