One way to make music practice fun is to improvise with Rhythms.
Start with a long-short-short pattern known as Hoedown or the Nashville shuffle.
Play it on scales like D Major Pentatonic: D0-1-2-A0-1
Do it with the Metronome.
Alter the rhythm:
- Reverse it to create a short-short-long pattern
- Split it across two notes
A more advanced practice is to accent the offbeat, or beats 2 and 4.
Add it to tune Chunks like Oh Susanna.
