Hi everyone, thanks for coming in prepared this week! Here is what I would like for you to work on this week so we can continue this progress.

Ella- This week, take some time to learn the Breezeblocks beats. Try to have the first page learned for next time, but break it down so you can play the harder parts slower and the easier parts faster. Here is a link to the music (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yxZt6ZHSYxf9SiGdJpA9JNblIYdnqSbH).

Jonah- This week, try to learn all of Lesson 2. Make sure you try slpowly first and you will get it! Also, this article will show you how to share sound so I can hear your song! https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362643-Sharing-Computer-Sound-During-Screen-Sharing

Noah- This week, try to get up to dicso beat number 9 with 70 on the metronome (to the quarter note, so 4 notes per click). Make sure you are locked in with your hi hat before playing the rest of the beat, and stay locked in when you do play it! In addition, listen to the songs linked at the bottom of this post and pick one you would like to learn (or think of a different song you like).

Sylvie- This week, try to get the entire disco page to 80 with fills. Bonus points if you can play through the whole page without stopping! As always, try to find new sounds to improvise with! In addition, listen to the songs linked at the bottom of this post and pick one you would like to learn (or think of a different song you like).

Samson- This week, try to finish Lesson 7. To help with timekeeping, use the metronome at a comfortable tempo on each 16th note so you can line up every note you play. Then cut the tempo in half so it only plays the eighth note. This is great practice for playing in time!

Hi everybody! Thanks for your continued effort in practicing every week! Here is what I would like for you to work on for next time.

Sebastian- Here are links to some songs with really great drummers, take a look for some inspiration.
John Bonham of Led Zeppelin- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwiTs60VoTM
Eric Moore- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzeM31yzReU
Questlove- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oR6spc4ETA. Also, take a look at Lesson 4 in the packet and try to learn beats 1-12 for next time.

Ella- Here is the Rylan beat written out. Try to get it to 132 for next time. In addition, work on building up speed on the disco page and getting up to 70.

Jonah- Here is a link to the packet again in case you haven’t gotten it. (https://drive.google.com/openid=12q21Pa0ouqLu4ufYaFwdcrPqMH-Sdn3A). Please try to learn beats 1-12 in Lesson 2 for next time. Also, here is the link to the song maker. Try to save some songs so I can hear in the lesson! https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/

Noah- Have a look at the song maker for next time and see if you can come up with some songs and beats! https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/ Also, try to work the disco page up to 120 bpm to the eighth note. Lastly, try to think of a song that you would like to learn how to play and we can begin working on some music!

Sylvie- Think of a song you’d like to learn and we can begin working on it! Also, try to get the disco page up to 80 bpm with fills.

Koel- This week, try to learn the bottom two lines of the disco page. Get them to any comfortable tempo, but remember to always be listening to the metronome to stay in time.

Samson- Thanks for adjusting the sound settings! It was very helpful. This week, try to learn the rest of Lesson 7 at any comfortable tempo, always listening to stay with the metronome.
