About this lesson
How to recognize the notes that mark a shift and anchor the elbow to them.
Position-change notes are the moments where the elbow leads the hand into a new place. By circling downbeats, refining them through playing, and marking elbow direction, you give every shift a clear, grounded, tension-free anchor.
What this lesson covers
- Recognizing and marking position-change notes
