Short teacher-facing description for a two-track practice pattern.

Alfaia:
R . . R | L R . R | L R . R | L . R L | R . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . .

Practice

Start slowly, listen to the gongue cycle, then add the alfaia hand pattern.

Feel

Keep the accented right-hand hits grounded and let the left-hand ghost notes stay light.
