Review
- Beta Fundamentals: Wrists, Elbows, Arms
- 1 Accents (x4 each)

1eau Drill
- 2 Accents (x4 each)
- Next Level "1eau Drill" / skip the grace note (quiet hit) immediately after an accented hit (loud hit)

Tap & Clap Exercise
- Tap with foot on the pulse (1... 2... 3... 4...)
- Clap the accented hit of "1eau Drill" 1 Accent

Team Exercise
- Team A: ABCD (x4 each)
- Team B: CDAB (x4 each)
- Both teams should still tap at same time, but now clapping different/syncopated rhythms

Rhythm Creation
- Put together four variations from the "1eau Drill" 1 Accent and 2 Accents

Cindy: C² C A² B
Jasper: D² A C² B
Marisa: A² C²
Michiko: A B A² B²
Yasuko: B A D D²

Practice Variation #1: play your rhythm with all grace/quiet notes
Practice Variation #2: play your rhythm with the "Level 2" concept, skipping grace/quiet notes after an accented hit

Clean
Next week: "Level 3" is to skip all grace notes and play just the accented hits (with full arm strikes)
