Doublings exercises index

Low G doublings
Low A doublings
B doublings
C doublings
D doublings
E doublings
F doublings

These exercises demand a level of control over rhythmical proportions which when accomplished, will be a level reasonable to call 'intermediate'.

The player should be able to play most competition style tunes with confidence and reliability after completing the intermediate level exercises. Very advanced control over proportions of gracenotes which may be different according to interpretation will be addressed with the advanced exercises.
