Common Problems & Fixes
Drawbacks - Problems: When aiming for a straight rhythm, the student bounces up and down which throws off the rhythm.
Sometimes the heel drops too early.
Early spank sounds.
Solutions: If students bounce, tell them not to and hold your hand above their head so that if they hit your head they know they are bouncing.
For early heels, I'll have them focus on lifting the heel upwards during the spank. You can also add pressure to the heel.
To fix early spanks, they can mentally delay the spank or leave the spanking foot flat on the floor during the previous step.
