The MP3 resources listed below were mostly recorded at a ‘learning rhythm’ speed, rather than ‘typical rhythm’ speed, to support the student’s learning.
Though, accessing tuition resources to embrace and actualise the ‘typical rhythm’ is encouraged for those interested in exploring a deeper intention for the practice.
