HOW TO PLAY

A leader sets a steady beat, and players must come in with their note at their assigned point in the rotation.
3
The group repeats the rotating pattern several times, trying to keep the notes evenly spaced and in time.

The leader gradually speeds up the beat, and any player who comes in at the wrong time is gently teased and restarts with the group.
5
Finish with everyone playing their note together in one final combined chord to end the round.
