The beginner band is a big challenge, have a number of students that open only to learn their instruments and is trying to teach and inspire them to play.
Before the drums to work effectively as one of the biggest challenges, especially if you do not know much about drums.
Do not let "Drummer" alone - as a "drummer" instead of being
This is the most important thing to realize - this band of students oftendress, percussion, so they can play the drum. The) drum kit (or drum kit is often used in the school band, and often is very important so that students feel that, if not victory, because they have to sit back and wait.
The band director must find a way to resolve this situation - if you only have a drummer, then great! You can play the drums and there you go.
The problem can occur if you have different drummersband, sometimes two, four, eight or ten! One option that works very effectively and has many years is required to have a player to play snare drum, a bass drum, a player flat, although a "drum kit" written part. If the type of band I recommend this configuration, this at any time and make the students stand, play the snare drum. Do you have a swimming pool and concert bass drum, and is designed to listenthree players all the time.
Do you have a table auxiliary percussion - and make them get up to play anytime
There's nothing worse than listening to a shaker or tambourine in a vague band of school and struggle to see the person sitting on a stool behind the drums!
When playing tambourine, triangle or shaker - these tools are often essential to the band's sound, like the snare drum or drum set, so therefore they must be made trulyseriously .. the band director and the players.
So more of a "table" with all traps at hand. It is not too expensive to buy one, or one of the professionals available.
Players must always play to stand up and have their music stand has been designed to instantly see the band director.
Warming - not ignore us!
I was a drummer in a band school ... There's nothing more frustrating thanTheir time sitting in the school band room while you're waiting to vote in the wind and heat. Often the band director to spend to spend up to half an hour of heating the players - and expect the percussionists during that time yet.
How to deal with it?
- If you're going to warm up for half an 'hour .... Tell the drums to arrive after the rest! - It makes no difference for you and your better than them as a distraction!
- Why not send themin another room for their own section tests this time? Get a teacher or assistant to work with them to share their
- Use the warm-up routine pre-set involved, what you do with the winds. (Not always, but may, depending on the material you have)
Be ready to add to book the band
When I helped with beginner bands I felt it necessary to books on tape, the students with the use of additional costMaterials - The materials are often of interest, or do not have enough variety to keep students engaged in the materials.
You need a lot of work on basic approaches and roles - often books bands do not deal with these things soon enough. So you may be able to achieve with other materials, which is available online and in books extra.
Each player sticks?
I leave you this - depends on the different personalities in each ofBands you have. A number of popular books of the "Standard of Excellence" has snare / cash book and on the left side of the mallet on the right. A different kind of "essential elements" has a snare and mallet percussion book.
I think it should become a drummer and do as much as possible, and if that means he needs two books, while all other members of the band needs only one .. then this is the way it shouldbe!
There are no quick fixes to do better in the percussion band beginners, but I hope this can give one or two ideas that help!
