Disjunct Motion was written in contrast to Weber State's Conjunct Motion exercise, which used doublestops to work on legato fundamentals. In this exercise, the rebound/cushion dichotomy is explored with the non-lead hand in different contexts that will depend on tempo for clear definition. The point is that sometimes it is best to rebound, sometimes it is best to cushion, and in some cases it is best to allow the stroke a slower rebound to fill the time up between strokes.
Unified Fields
Unified Fields combines hand-to-hand independence patterns with unison doublestop patterns in a manner that pointedly tests your accent-tap and legato fundamentals.
∆Effort
∆Effort consists of a doublebeat/triplebeat pattern that can be treated as a multistroke, stick control, or timing exercise. Different variations check your timing, hand-to-hand consistency of motion, and sound quality.
