Workshop: Perfect Doublings Revisited
⚡ The Short Version
Perfect doublings start with a small, quick high G gracenote played right on the beat. The second gracenote varies by doubling type, with both notes separated by the theme note in the middle.
Small, well-separated gracenotes create a crisp, clear doubling; large gracenotes sound sloppy. Keep gracenotes short and avoid the temptation to make them bigger when troubleshooting unclear doublings.
Consistent execution of every doubling on the page—identical rhythm and technique—builds precision. Top hand doublings often feel harder to control, but they respond to focused, consistent practice.
