The 4 against 3 challenge.

This challenge is an excellent way for you to practise playing quadruplets against triplets. Just in case you have never done this before I recommend using the phrase, “Clap your hands on the beat” where only the word CLAP is with both your hands and the quadruplet notes are on  “Clap”, “Your”,  “On” & “Feet” and the triplet notes are on the words “Clap”, “Hands” & “The”

In today’s challenge we will play a contrary motion scale with one hand playing the triplets and the other playing the quadruplets. Try to play to play the quadruplet in the RH against the triplet in the LH.
