Depending on the song's rhythm, you may need to rotate between several different striking methods in a song. Practice going from one technique to another quickly so that if a song calls for several different tones or rhythms, you can match it with the right roll or strike. While using two hands may seem useful for complex songs, it can mess with your timing. Avoid switching the tambourine back and forth between your hands for the clearest rhythm. If you're playing along to a fast song, hold the tambourine in your non-dominant hand and prop your foot on something that puts your thigh parallel to the floor, like a box or stepping stool. Strike your knee or thigh with the tambourine's shell (back side) while you play a tempo with your dominant hand. This helps make the tambourine strike louder and more pronounced. If you're trying to play along to a song you didn't write, listen for a drum, triangle, cymbal, or other percussion instruments, and try striking your tambourine to the same beat. When in doubt, this is a safe way to make sure you're playing to the right beat.

summary: Practice transitioning between striking techniques. Play as much of the rhythm as possible on one hand. Strike your tambourine against your knee when playing fast rhythms. Play to the beat of the percussion if you don't know when to play.

A powder puff is a flat, puffy pad that comes in some powder compacts. It's usually palm-sized. To use, add a generous amount of powder to the puff. Dip it into the powder and don’t knock the excess off by tapping the puff against the lid. If you're buying your own powder puff, look for one that's about the size of your palm. Applying the powder lightly at first will prevent the puff from smudging your makeup. Tap the puff lightly all over your face. Then press more firmly after a light layer has been applied. If you’re applying powder under your eyes or around your nose, fold the puff in half. Then apply the powder as usual. A smaller puff gives you more control and prevents you from getting powder in places you don’t want it. Run the back of your hand against your face. If your cheek feels smooth and dry, you’ve applied just enough powder. If your face still feels wet or sticky, apply a bit more powder.

summary: Dip the puff into the powder. Apply the powder lightly at first. Fold the puff in half for small or narrow areas. Feel your cheek with the back of your hand to see if there’s enough powder.

They are notated by round blue circles with dashed lines inside of the circles. The lines will point in different directions to notate if the glaciers or snowfields are advancing or retreating.  Find a complete list of symbols on topographic maps at https://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/TopographicMapSymbols/topomapsymbols.pdf  It may be useful to bring a list of symbols with you when you use the map so you can refer to it as needed. Streams and rivers that are ongoing appear as solid blue waves on the map. Streams and rivers that are intermittent, where there is a break in their flow, have dashed lines or dots in the wave. Dams are notated on the map by two blue squares locked together. Buildings appear as small block boxes on the map. They may appear as solid black boxes or shaded boxes. Schools are notated by small black dots. Athletic fields appear as triangles or boxes with dashed lines. Other man-made objects like wells, tanks, and cemeteries are notated on the map using specific symbols. Find picnic areas by looking for red tables. Roadside rest areas appear as small black tables on the map.
summary: Look for a blue symbol for glaciers or snowfields. Identify the type of river or lake with blue wave symbols. Locate buildings and schools by finding black boxes. Check for campgrounds by looking for red tents.
