Scale, Rudiment and Rhythm Reader WorkThis year I have asked that all students in high school band record all of their major scales (or primary rudiments for drummers)
They also need to complete exercises on the rhythm sight reading app installed on their iPad. These basic skills should be part of any practice routine. While the goal the public sees is the music played by the band, the real goal of band as an academic class is musical literacy. The ability to read and decode symbols with better accuracy and at faster speeds through daily practice has benefits outside the band. |
