F minor five-note arch.

Compare the minor third and adjacent steps in the F five-note position.

01 THE LITTLE IDEA

Here’s the lovely bit.

Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Compare the minor third and adjacent steps in the F five-note position. 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. F4 at 1; G4 at 2; G♯4 at 3; A♯4 at 4; C5 at 5; A♯4 at 6; G♯4 at 7; G4 at 8; F4 at 9. The pattern lasts 12 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.

Today’s little goalPlay the 12-beat pattern at 60 BPM with at least 80% recall and precision.
