The aim in these rhythmic or two-handed exercises is to give skill, speed, and grace to the two hands working together.

• Spend 3-5 minutes a day on these exercises at a whiteboard.
• If you have no large whiteboard, tape two pieces of paper to a desk or table, one piece for each hand.
• Dots denote the starting places for a movement and the "X" the end position for a movement.
