Perfect Doublings
⚡ The Short Version
The perfect doubling has two small, crisp gracenotes. The first gracenote (high G) lands on the beat. The second gracenote and the main note must be well separated.
Small gracenotes sound clear and strong. Big gracenotes sound sloppy. Keep them tiny, quick, and precise.
Use Power Doublings to build consistency. This exercise strengthens your doublings so they sound identical every time you play them.
