    This is great practice for rhythm in a musical context. 7 I got after 2 tries 8 took me 3. 9 I'd have to sit down and practice.
    Would you consider making a two handed rhythm practice for piano players/ percussionists? I know some pieces I play have a polyrhythm playing in the melody one my right and and a third, more basic rhythm in baseline/ harmony of the left hand. Sight reading practices for those would be very useful.
