Practice Structure:
- Start, HPP (x1), Speed Up, HPP (x1) + Ending

Discuss:
- What is Masa's style (leaning, listening to the Uwa/Shita sounds)
- Course will be difficult as it will depend on each participant to be vulnerable to trying things & making mistakes
- Customize: stance (facing the drum even), grip & striking method, lower body incorporation (bounce), dynamics (soft vs loud)
- What is the important element for your Hachijo playing? Visual, mood, fun (bounce), playful (playing on different areas of taiko), etc.
- Hachijo Practice Patterns & Speed Up Template -- anyone could play at almost any given point / students to create and share their own "drill"
- At some point in the course, students to share an item with sentimental value -- to bring out a story or emotion into their playing
- Course is intended to "not be performance ready" but for each student to find joy in their Hachijo playing
