I know Exercise 11 starts to mix things up but I don't think I'm ready for it. I can do Exercises 8, 9 & 10 by themselves but I have massive difficulties when trying to switch back and forth. With that in mind I used the exercised in the book and made one that is all about doing Leading Tone, Walking Up, and Walking Down for G & C.

When you see the below and you notice I'm going from G -> C for Leading Tone and I'm repeating it 10 times I'm not really walking from C -> G as the literal sheet says. I'm just going from G -> C and then from G -> C again and when I've done it 10 times I do the same thing for Walking Up then again for Walking Down.

As silly and over-doing it as this sounds I'll do the same thing for C -> D and then for D -> C. I don't think it will take long to get this down at 100 BPM, which seems to be what the recorded exercises are at. When that happens I'll move on to Exercise 11 and hopefully will have organically improved.
