Carol Challenge #2 - Practice Day 2: Swing Rhythms and Triplets!

Hey Temis!

How did the E Major scale practice go yesterday? Did you nail those four sharps? Awesome! Today, we finally get to bring "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" to life by tackling the first line of the music!

If you look at the sheet music, you'll see it starts with groups of two eighth notes. This is where the magic happens: you need to play this with a Swing Rhythm, just like we did with "Christmas Time is Here!" To get that cheerful, bouncy feel, please take a moment to review the basics below, including the crucial Left Thumb Relaxation and clean String Crossing techniques.
