CALLERLAB recommends that the MAINSTREAM Program, calls 1-71, be taught in not less than 60 hours.  CALLERLAB also recommends that calls be taught from more than a single position (formation and arrangement) and that styling and timing be included as a part of the teaching program. Calls in italics may be deferred until later in the teaching sequence.
