2. Rhythms (Long, short, short, Long, short, short. etc.)

   1. The long notes are strong like “close loud,” and the short notes are light and played as quickly as possible, THINKING about going to the next long note.

   1. Accent one note in a group and practice alternating the note that receives the accent.

4. Staccato Practice
