We can start with lesson five because since the student already has a sense of rhythm and time, this should be a fun warm up for the student. The lesson plays around with the dotted sixteenth note and can be used also to practice swing feels. I would also have the student practice this exercise on mallets but pick a scale to play it and make it groove both straight forward and with a swing feel.
Week 2: Peters intermediate for snare drum and green studies for mallets. This week we will start the Peters book lesson 1 for the student to get the feel of completing a snare solo cleanly. So, because this solo is not really hard they should be able to get through fairly well at 90 bpm. The green studies lesson 1 will also be this week to get the hands moving and keep the scales in mind.
Week 3: Peters intermediate lessons 5 for snare drum and green studies lesson 1 rag time. This week we will work on developing a stringer roll base so I would like the student to start at 80 bpm and get up to 100 bpm. Also, for mallets this makes for a great week to start understanding rag time for mallets.
Week 4: Peters lesson ten snare and …show more content…
This week we will work on executing matches on the snare drums. The tempo is usually 100 bpm. Matches should away be play rhythmically right because it acts as a metronome during matches. Lessons two in the green book should be practiced and executed at 80 bpm.
Week 6: Syncopation lesson eight snare drum lesson two in green xylophone.
This week is back to syncopation because I want to cover in depth subdivision with dotted eight notes and triplets. These can be done at 90 bpm. I wanted to go back to lesson 2 again this week because I want to hear.
Week 7: Syncopation lesson ten and 20 bar exercise both snare and mallets. This week is a focus of rhythm at quick tempo so on snare drum between 100 and 110 bpm. Two scales must be chosen again.
Week 8: Wilcoxon solos one and two for snare drum, Goldenberg mallets. This week we are combining a series of rudiments so we are starting with Wilcoxon’s solo one and two at 90 bpm cleanly. And for mallets the Goldenberg book page 13 to work on lyrical rolls sounding pretty.
Week 9: Wilcoxon solo 1-4 for snare drum, Goldenberg for
