- Lesson 26
Three against two
In one 3/4 bar: R plays 3, L plays 2.
Listen for: Divide the bar into 6 parts: R enters on 1–3–5, L on 1–4; these are counts, not finger numbers.
Pass when: Separate 3:2 cleanly without speeding up.
Open → - Lesson 27
Syncopation with chord changes
R eighth notes with rests; L changes chords on beats 1 and 3.
Listen for: R keeps the rests, L changes chords on time.
Pass when: Don't fill the rests with extra notes.
Open → - Lesson 28
Call and response between the hands
L repeats R's motif one beat later.
Listen for: Sing each voice separately, then combine.
Pass when: The hands never sound together where a rest is written.

Waltz with two separate lines
3/4 time: R eighth-note melody, L bass–chord.
Listen for: L is the dance beat; R is the song.
Pass when: A full 3 beats per bar; R doesn't crowd L.
Open → - Lesson 30

R syncopated melody; L broken-chord accompaniment; changing dynamics.
Listen for: R forward; L even; every rest exact.
