Stride Piano Basics: Left-Hand Bass Leaps & Ragtime Rhythm Control

The Classic Left-Hand Stride Motion

Left hand leaps back and forth across 2 octaves: strike a low single bass note or octave on beat 1 & 3, then leap up to strike a 3-note mid-register chord on beat 2 & 4!

Developing Keyboard Spatial Awareness

Practice left-hand bass leaps with eyes closed to build sub-conscious spatial muscle memory across the keys.
