The next five drill practice sessions use the movement blocks we practiced at the beginning of the training. Each movement block has four exercises, each in an 8-count phrase. The four exercises together will complete a 32-count phrase.
We will practice together, hearing and moving to the 8-count and 32-count phrases. You will have the opportunity to continue practicing with visual aids on the screen to help you identify the musical changes. Lastly, you will continue practicing with no visual or verbal aids.
