This week in Advanced Percussion, we will be working on the following material:

• Standards of Excellence Book: Continue working on mallet percussion, sight-reading, and note striking.
• Continue to work with metronome - building a solid, steady rhythmic foundation.
• Continue working as an "Ensemble," listening to eachother and "blending" as a group.
• Begin major scale studys. Learning the Standard "middle school" scale patterns.
• Pass offs: Each student will prepare a piece for me this week to be critiqued on. They will be judged on Rhythmic accuracy, pitch accuracy, and dynamics.
