Regular practice.  In meeting room (no mirrors and carpet) so focused on rhythmic challenges.

Reid Taguchi
Notes: 

Reviewed NG6 groove.  RT focused on ryotan.  Took turns improvising over 8-bar structure.

Taught "teko" technique and beginnings of Twiddler groove.  Playing only the accents of NG6+Twiddler was interesting... perhaps that's where the piece is headed: three players with grooves in three different time-signatures and the ji-uchi players use the sparse accents.

Started teaching chi-aida.

next: review Twiddler, teach chi-aida structure from Traipse, maybe start teaching end choreo.
