1. Clap on beats 1, 2, 3, 4 (quarter notes) for each measure.
2. Clap on beats 1, 2, 3, 4 with quarter and half notes: clap on 1 (half note), then 2, 3, 4 (quarter notes) per measure.
3. Clap eighth notes as “1 & 2 &” and sixteenth notes as “1 e & a 2 e & a” per beat.
4. Clap sixteenth notes as “1 e & a 2 e & a” and quarter notes on the beat.
5. Clap whole note on beat 1, then eighth and sixteenth notes using subdivisions “1 & 2 &” and “1 e & a 2 e & a”.
6. Clap sixteenth notes as “1 e & a 2 e & a”, then quarter notes on the beat.
7. Clap sixteenth notes as “1 e & a 2 e & a”, then eighth and quarter notes using “1 & 2 &” and whole note on beat 1.
8. Clap sixteenth notes as “1 e & a 2 e & a”, then eighth and quarter notes using “1 & 2 &” and whole note on beat 1.
