KEYS TO IMPROV, EXERCISE IN FOURTHS

Practicing these exercises in all 12 keys will help strengthen your ear and build your “ear / finger co-ordination.”   Try to play them withOUT looking at the chart whenever possible.  Start with the metronome at a slow tempo and execute the notes as cleanly as possible with smooth finger motion.   Gradually increase the tempo, as you become comfortable with the notes.
