"Practise your finger taps. Notice how the 3rd finger is more difficult to lift than the other fingers. Practise your 1/3 and 2/4 in combination."
Practising technical challenges away from the instrument can be very useful. Here are some basic exercises you can do with the wrist resting on a flat surface.
Lift and drop the fingers with energy but notice that the fingers do not need to work too hard to get a good clear tap.
The 3rd finger is harder to lift as it does not have a separate tendon but is joined to the 4th finger tendon. So be sure to give the 3rd finger plenty of exercise.
Create your own finger exercises to challenge your coordination.
