C major groups of three.

Keep eighth notes steady while a three-note sequence crosses quarter-note boundaries.

01 THE LITTLE IDEA

Here’s the lovely bit.

Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Keep eighth notes steady while a three-note sequence crosses quarter-note boundaries. Use the lower C4–C5 range; follow note labels for accidentals. Finger choice and key-release duration are not scored. Pattern positions count from 1; 1.5 is the & of beat 1, and 1.25/1.75 are e/a. C4 at 1; D4 at 1.5; E4 at 2; D4 at 2.5; E4 at 3; F4 at 3.5; E4 at 4; F4 at 4.5; G4 at 5; F4 at 5.5; G4 at 6; A4 at 6.5. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.

Today’s little goalPlay the 8-beat pattern at 80 BPM with at least 80% recall and precision.
