Practicing

Individual daily practice is necessary for percussionist for multiple reasons! All private students and members of ensembles I teach are expected to establish daily practice.
  • Physical Needs - "Chop building" and mastering techniques require muscular repetition.
  • Mental Needs - Improving reading skills, retain knowledge, and perfecting musical phrasing.

Spending a few minutes (15-30) each day is more beneficial than spending an hour once or twice a week. Make a time each day where you will practice so that you establish a routine.
