Teaching Notes

A2 bars 5-8: neighbors turn with R-hand on R-file and L-hand on L-file.

B1 and B2 bars 5-8: the lead up or down for the 2s is not very far—enough to come forward out of line before beginning the cast.

At end of B2, it works well for the 1s to curve over R-shoulder to get to progressed places.
