The students spend most of their time learning the basic concepts of beginning snare drum so they will be prepared to teach beginning students of any grade level. Much time is devoted to proper stance, grip, and stroke in order to insure a good foundation for a beginning student. Also covered are the various mallet instruments, timpani, and all small hand percussion. Students will learn about purchasing proper equipment for the various levels of learning in common school programs.
