      I love that and will repeat that, rest = danger 😂
      I used to be a violin major and remember so many times either I or someone else would play on rests and all eyes would be on whoever did it lmfao. My orchestra was great and would make light of it but lord that was still kind of embarrassing to be that person.

    As a wildly out of practice pianist, this actually taught me a lot about how I understand sheet music! I'm definitely much more of an auditory learner than visual - I messed up a lot of the combinations within beats the first time but had them down as soon as I heard them once. Made it to level 12 before struggling, was absolutely screwed from 13 onwards.

  • @monicabonatesfeijo6461

    I believe one of the best exercises is to play all notes and all it's possible values including pauses, isolated before the exercises on pentagram with all notes and their possible values together. It would be a lot helpful to memorize the sounds associated with the notes. I have never seen teachers or any youtube channel teaching this. I also miss fusas, semifusas and respective pauses values, also 2/2, 3/4 and 6/8, wichh are most commonly used.

    As an oboist this was great practice because we don’t get a lot of super funky rhythms in our classical repertoire. Especially the sixteenth rest on beat 1, sixteenth note on e, eighth note on the +, kept tripping me up when it was followed up by sixteenth rest on beat 1, eighth note on the e, sixteenth on the a. Going back and forth between those was groovy but challenging. I tried the later challenges on double speed, good for humbling the ego as an oboist😂

    I started getting mixed up after level 3, although I could keep up fine until about level 6. The trick? I was able to link each even division of a quarter note to a type of produce ("Sweet Beats" by Preschool Prodigies style: quarter= beet, 2 8ths= cher-ry, 4 16ths= a-vo-ca-do)
    In fact, the first 2 bars of level 2 are literally in "Sweet Beats," as "We've got *beet, beet, cherry, beet...* (Beet, beet, cherry, beet!) *Cherry, cherry, beet, beet...* (Cherry, cherry, beet, beet!) ..."
