Hemiola funk series - beginner sheet

Continuing to develop a method for this hemiola funk idea. Please forgive the repetition— when this is a finished method, I'll release it as an e-book. In the mean time, I'll be posting a lot of things not very dissimilar from previous pages. This is a page I wrote to use with a couple of my younger students.

Exercises 1-16 are for clarity about the basic coordination. Teaching this page, I have the student play them one time and stop, and ask them to play it again as necessary. Patterns 5-16 can be played repeating in time if you choose. Play exercises 17-28 one time, stopping on beat 1 of the repeat; then play them repeating.
