What this skill is

Each trial shows you a rhythm pattern and asks you to play it with the prompted hand — RH on middle C (C4), or LHon the C below (C3). The lesson’s claim: rhythm shouldn’t depend on which hand plays it. If your LH drags while your RH is fine, you don’t actually have the rhythm — you have a right-hand reflex.

How this builds on the prior lessons

Pulse-finding + steady quarter notes gave you a steady tap. Eighth-note subdivision and rhythm-reading taught you to parse a written pattern. This lesson moves the same pattern between hands — the layer right before two-hand coordination.

Common misconception

“If I tap on every click I’m doing the rhythm.” That works only when the pattern is all-quarters (T1-T2). T3+ uses mixed patterns where some beats are held — tapping during a hold is a beat-following error, and at T3+ even one extra tap fails the trial. By T5 the click track stops after the count-in; the only thing keeping you on time is your own internal pulse.
