A 10 MINUTE DAILY FUNDAMENTALS ROUTINE
FOR SNARE DRUM AND KEYBOARD TECHNIQUE

20 PROGRESSIVE LEVELS!

Designed to supplement any full band method book or daily full band warmup routine!

.

In order to be successful, students must devote time every day to working on fundamentals. Because percussionists rely on muscle motor skills to make music and reach the levels required for middle and high school literature, they should not only spend time reinforcing basic strokes but also gradually add more advanced skills, building from one to the next.

The exercises included in A Fresh Approach Daily Drills begin in Level One with skills most percussionists learn in the first few weeks of beginning band, so even first-year students can incorporate fundamentals into their daily practice routine. Whether your students are in a dedicated percussion class (using a different method than the Fresh Approach books) or in a heterogeneous band class, these exercises can be adapted to play along with almost any warm-up, scale study or song.

As students progress with the fundamentals, they will be able to move seamlessly from one level to the next, adding new techniques, rudiments, scales and exercises. The higher levels of the Daily Drills will challenge even competitive high school students with more advanced rudimental snare exercises and four-mallet keyboard technique.

Included with these daily drills is a VIDEO LESSON LIBRARY, with a breakdown of each level on snare and keyboard. Non-percussionist band directors can use these in class, especially as the exercises become more advanced and the techniques more difficult to explain.

PLAY-ALONG ACCOMPANIMENT TRACKS make daily practice fun, and “player perspective” videos help to reinforce the correct stroke styles for every exercise.

INCLUDING A COMPREHENSIVE
COURSE FOR 4 MALLETS!
