Use a FERMATA CUT OFF when the last note of the music is a fermata, tenuto, or does not provide a
rhythmic three-count ending. Make a counterclockwise and upward loop with your right hand. (The left
hand will make a clockwise loop). At the point of the CUT OFF close your left hand into a fist. Your hands
should stop in a position that is identical to the third count of INSTRUMENTS UP. This places your arms in
a position ready to execute COUNT 1 of INSTRUMENTS DOWN. (Figures 1-6a, 1-6b)
