Drill sheet music

The daily core drill. Play even quarters, hands together, then repeat the pattern in G, D and beyond.

Same pattern, now with a black key. Keep the thumb light and the wrist level.

The first scale. Thumb crosses under on the way up (3→1) and back over on the way down.

Introduces F# — the same fingering as C, so it is the natural second scale.

Both hands start on middle C and move apart. A symmetry drill that builds balanced hands.

Every semitone in the octave. Builds black-key comfort and precise thumb placement.

Roll the triad up and down in both hands. The hand opens wide, then closes; keep the wrist following.

Change chords without hunting. Each chord is a whole note in both hands, played together.

Play C–A slowly in both hands; the thumb crosses under at E→F. Feel the wrist glide sideways, never rising.

The right hand sings the tune; the left hand is a soft cushion underneath. Keep the melody louder.

Hold fingers 1-2-3 on C-D-E (in each hand) the whole time and tap 4-5 (F-G) only. Each staff shows its own tapping line.

Dotted eighth + sixteenth on the five-finger run, both hands. The uneven rhythm forces each finger to place precisely.

The same daily core drill transposed. Keep the thumb light, the hand arched, and the wrist level.
