MUSIC: “New Hampshire Nocturne” by Jonathan Jensen.
Teaching Point:
The phrasing in the second half of the B usually
requires a little emphasis. It is two bars to fall back (9-10), two
bars to turn single (11-12), four bars to come forward, pass through
and turn back to face partner (13-16), and four bars for the two-
hand tum (17-20).
