Play with Both Hands
It’s time to play with the left and right hands together. Play the left-hand part carefully while listening to the
metronome. That will allow you to play the right-hand part with a relaxed feel.
Diligent Practice Time
This is practice for the left-hand accompaniment for the first half.
Consider each measure as a group of notes. It will be easier to play if you keep the image of the keys you’ll play in
each group in your mind before playing the first note.

Special Practice: Rhythm Combinations - “Meet Marimba Man Jr.”
The right hand plays eighth notes while the left hand plays a quarter note, then the right hand plays a quarter note
while the left hand plays eighth notes...what’s this exercise for?
Play this a number of times after the lead-in. Have fun trying not to get pulled off time by the melody playing in the background.
