7 golden exercises to master Polyrhythms. Can you play triples and eighth notes at the same time?

Master the most used polyrhythms, for example, playing triples with one hand and duplets with the other.

Tips to practice:
-Listen to the noise the rhythm is producing and make up an onomatopoeic equivalent you can make with your mouth as you practice with your hands.

-Guitarists can also try playing the bottom line with the thumb of the right hand and the top line with the index, or the middle finger also of the right hand.

-Pianists can try playing the rhythms with only one hand, assigning one finger to the bottom line and another to the top line.

-Tap the top staff with one hand and the bottom one with your foot or the other way around.

Pretty easy but might come back to it for other purposes like letting the staves be hand and voice (or vice versa).

Polyrhythms are very easy if you approach them with Math

Turn triplets (1/3) into 4/12
And semiquavers (1/4) into 3/12

Then you count 1 to 12

Play triplets on 1 5 and 9
And semiquaver on 1 4 7 and 10
