### Exercise: Varying Sticking with Rests

In this next exercise, the rest will move.

- Sometimes it will land on **beat three**,
- Other times, it will fall on **beat one**.

To vary my sticking, I will play the first part with **double strokes**.

- I will pretend I played it with the stick I would have used on that beat.

**Counting:**
1, 2, 3, 4.
