Lucas
How many minutes to practice: 15-30
What to practice: This week Lucas I want you to focus on working through the rest of Seven Nation Army with the music. UPDATED TRANSCRIPTION of Seven Nation Army and a link to the song.
How to practice effectively HERE IS A VIDEO OF ME PLAYING THE PART. Really great job with the form chart! This week practice going through the song, memorizing the amount of repetitions for each part, and counting to 8 for each beat. I know its all a little different but youre making some great progress with connecting all the parts of the song and these details are only going to make things better. Try playing along to the song at the end of each practice session!
Awesome job today, keep up the momentum!
Jonah
How many minutes to practice: 30
What to practice: This week Jonah I want you to keep working on the Peters IV accent exercise and try working on the transcription for High Hopes by Panic! at the Disco. I’ll be posting the transcription within the next day or so.
How to practice effectively: Keep plugging away at the accent tap exercise! I can tell that you understand it, just keep working out all the counts and keep disciplined in putting it all together. Make sure you know which counts the accents fall on and then be sure to go slowly. High Hopes isn’t too tricky so have fun with it!
Awesome drumming with you some more today Jonah!
Samson
How many minutes to practice: 15-30
What to practice: This week Samson I want you to work on Todd Rundgren’s It Wouldn’t Have Made Any Difference. Keep an eye here on the assignment page for the transcription, I’ll be posting in a couple days.
How to practice effectively: Good work digging into some of the beginning of the song! Like I said today, the biggest thing for you to focus on is keeping consistent time so make sure you’re always counting at a steady pace! Obviously you don’t have to count out loud forever but for now until you get things more under your belt, be sure to count. As you get better at counting and playing the timing will start coming more automatically.
Good work today, I appreciate the effort!
