About this exercise
The content is the same as lesson 1, but the exercise doubles in length: 8 bars, 32 claps. The challenge now is keeping your attention. Many people start well and, around bar 5, are already rushing without noticing. Check that your clap still lands exactly on the click up to the last beat.
It is also the first time the score takes up more than one line: train your eyes to jump to the next line without losing beat 1 of the following bar.

How to play it
- Count-in: the site counts 1 bar before starting ("1 2 3 4"). Clap the first note on beat 1 of bar 1.
- Reading: read the line on the yellow strip and look ahead to the next one: that's how you read ahead.
How to practice
- Say the count out loud, without clapping, looking at the Bar by bar table.
- In Together mode, count and clap at the same time as the character.
- In Your turn mode, clap on your own. If it's hard, slow down and then come back.
Bar by bar
Bold = clap · (n) = don't clap, the sound keeps going (hands together) · [n] = rest, hands open.
