I got this marvellous book for christmas, and have enjoyed using it immensely...
However, I'm obviously new to it, and serious rudimental study too, so I wonder if those of you who've been using it for a while have any good advice for getting the most out of it.
One particular thing I'm wondering about is about counting to twenty repetitions...I find that doing this is a major distraction from actually playing the exercise! Is this a useful thing to focus the mind and improve my mental capacity, or should I try and find a technological solution so I don't have to do the counting? In my usual musical experience, actively counting bars/measures isn't something I have to do consciously, so I don't know whether I've missed out on learning to do this...or am just distracting myself from the technical practise element.
That's my particular query though, I welcome hints and tips on any subject to do with this.
