Weekly Warm Up No. 8
Welcome back as we step into fall.
This week we’re bringing back our four-note patterns to work on arpeggios bursts. Along with our right hand work, we’ll continue our agility work with Left Hand slurs. And, of course, visit our tremolo concepts.
Tempo:
Quarter note set @ 80 BPM.
Right Hand Arpeggios:
(Based on this A Major Chord Progression )

Tremolo:
Along with a steady eighth note pattern, we’ll be adding bursts into our routine this week. The focus here is to begin experimenting with the development of speed AND relaxation with quick movements. The faster you play, the more efficient (relaxed) you need to be with your technique
