Rest Etude

The fourth movement of A Prehistoric Suite contains many unison rhythms as well as rests that must be very precise. Not only must students play the rhythms accurately together, but they must also match note length and releases with each other. This etude is designed to work on these challenges that are presented in unison playing.
