Runs In Two
...a favorite warm-up of mine

  • concentrate on lifting your hands when playing your feet
  • use huge strokes at slower tempos and use your whole arm
  • shrink the pattern down to a smaller space as you travel faster
  • try it at different tempos - slow, med, and fast
  • try doubling and quadrupling (the pattern)
  • learn the sticking patterns
  • start at different notes rather than always beginning at one
