Sixteenth notes

Four claps per beat, light and even.

Sixteenths divide the beat into four. At first, tap them rather than clap: fingers can move faster than hands.

Say the syllables out loud before you tap. If the four notes are not evenly spaced, the timing chart will show the third one arriving early.
