They then move quickly into simple folksongs or children’s songs. Although these songs are great to practice, they do not teach the students all of the basic skills needed.

This helps the students with different learning styles to I Have a more complete understanding of the concepts. The students obviously use the skills and they’re playing. But often mop the concept and they just merely copy what others are doing. This method black breaks the skills down into categories.

This section works on the basic skills of playing the instrument. The students are not as focused on learning a song in this section. They’re working at controlling their tone their breast support and making a nice melodious quality. They’ve been are practicing their articulations.

If they have the in the zone band Book for beginners they will have exercises that are unique to students to study privately. Once we have worked on their skill building on their plane part of their instrument. The book next presents, a series of theory pages. These pages take each of the areas of understanding the music on the page and isolate each issues of the student can fully understand what is going on in their music book. They review the note reading so that they are able to identify the notes that they’re they’re playing they. They then learn about the PL keyboard it is essential for all students to have a visual representation of how notes progress up-and-down the keyboard. A clarinet player would find it difficult to know what a G flat is if they don’t understand how the half steps in whole steps work on the keyboard and hound F sharp and AG Platt are actually the same note. There’s also a section on transposition. Most bands do not focus on this area. It is important that students understand how all of the instruments transpose. Many students will later go on to form a band of their own or want to get together with friends and play. If they do not understand how transpositions work they will not know what notes to play in order to play together. They also will need to know what parts that they can play on their instrument and be in the correct key. The study of transposition is extremely helpful in these situations. Also when you’re just learning to play your scales, It is great to have the students able to transpose further instrument. Next or is the section on time signatures. Many books have very few time signatures in them. It is good for students to have an understanding of time signatures. Once I understand this they would be able to play in any time signature.

There’s also a section on rhythm. Rhythm is extremely important. We contain three different parts of our rhythm section in our buck. There is an ensemble for a prism. There are two worksheets that also support the understanding of rhythm. If the students can’t understand all these concepts individually they Can start to apply them to the plane. Next each unit has a section the does have songs in it. Now they can apply all of the skills that they have developed to the songs. Amid the songs, there’s a series of blanks for the students to fill-in. This reinforces their knowledge and help them apply it to their music. Following the songs there is the section on a composer. There’s a little bit of information given and then questions asked for the student to respond back. This is very applicable to their lives and focuses on the main events that the composer did and usually starts out at quite a young age. This shows that musicians that famous composers started out in their music usually quite young. There is also a improvisation section. Where the students are given notes that they can make up their own rhythms and play solos while the rest of the band plays the written baseline in the music. This helps the students gain independence and make some become more confident rhythmically. It also helps them to become more confident playing alone. At the very end of the chapter there is an exercise where the students get to write their own music using the notes him rhythms that were presented in the given unit. This way they can practice writing the number of beats that are accurate for that example. They also learn to write the write pitches that they would be able to play. They also get to apply their manuscript skills. There is a section in each unit that covers notation and helps the student learn to draw the notes correctly. This also helps that when they’re reading if they have written the music a bunch than they are more understanding of the written music when they have written. There are checkoffs at the beginning and ending of each unit at the beginning there’s a place to check off each item that they practiced at the end of the unit they should have all of their practice checks checked off. Above the exercises there’s a number one through five Area the student should go through each exercise at least five times. They should try to improve their skill every time. The first time it is recommended that they clap and count the rhythms on that exercise. The second time through it is recommended that they do no names and fingerings. Doing this we recommend that they say the name of the given note and they do the corresponding fingering. They should try to do this is keeping a steady tempo and staying in time with the rhythms of the notes. It is also recommended that they’re not just saying them. They should try to say them but while singing the pictures. The third fourth and fifth Times through the practice checks should be spent playing the example.
