Instrument | List | Publications | Memory | Notes | Video Performance | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Snare Drum | Study A Study B |
Percussion Studies, ABRSM Grades 6-8 | Nil | Studies are in important way to develop technical skills such as stick control, balance between hands, fluency and articulation. They also help to develop tone, pulse and dynamic control, and familiarity with rudimental patterns. This leads to greater confidence and security when sight-reading, learning new pieces and performing - from a score or from memory, as a solo musician or with others. | ||
Timpani | Study A Study B |
Percussion Studies, ABRSM Grades 6-8 | Nil | Studies are in important way to develop technical skills such as fluency, balance between hands, moving between drums, retuning / pedaling and articulation. They also help to develop tone, pulse, dynamic control and interval awareness.

Percussion Scales & Arpeggios, ABRSM Grades 6-8 | All requirements should be played from memory. | Playing scales and arpeggios is important for building strong technical skills such as reliable hand movement and position, co-ordination and fluency. It also helps to develop pitch and interval awareness, and familiarity with keys and their related patterns. This leads to greater confidence and security when sight-reading, learning new pieces and performing- from a score or from memory, as a solo musician or with others. |
Sight Reading
Sight-reading is a valuable skill with many benefits. Learning to sight-read helps to develop quick recognition of keys, tonality and common rhythm patterns. Strong sight-reading skills make learning new pieces quicker and easier, and also help when making music with others, so that playing in an ensemble becomes more rewarding and enjoyable.
