Exercise 7.2 Dynamics Layering — Three Volume Levels
Four bars of gradual increase: all ghost → ghost + bass → bass + slap → full accents (pp-mp-mf-ff)
Tempo: 60-70 BPM
💡 Dynamics are the expression of rhythm: bar 1's ghosts are barely audible, bar 4's four Bs are full accents — alternating hands (R L R L), unleashing everything with the strongest tone. Listen back to a recording and check that the four levels really "climb the stairs".
B=bass (below center) · S=slap (upper corner) · s=ghost (light touch) · ·=rest (hand hovering above)
