MEMORY VERSES (SEE ALL)

  • Scripture of the Month: Galatians 5:22-25 — The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit. — Galatians 5:22-25
  • Character Scripture:
    • Proverbs 16:32 — Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city. — Proverbs 16:32 New Living Translation (NLT)
    • James 5:7-8 — Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. — James 5:7-8 English Standard Version (ESV)
    • Proverbs 14:29 — Patient people have great understanding, but people with quick tempers show their foolishness. — Proverbs 14:29 New Century Version (NCV)
    • Psalms 40:1 — I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. — Psalms 40:1 King James Version (KJV)

MUSIC FOUNDATIONS

  • No notes for this week.

PIANO 1

  • Practice Time: 10/5d
  • Keep reviewing ALL parts of Lost My Partner. See if you can memorize it!
  • If can do all parts of Lost My Partner, practice all parts of What Can I Share? (pages 70-73)

PIANO 2

  • Practice Time: 15m/5d
  • Keep practicing all parts of If I Won Ten Million Dollars (pages 52-53)
  • Also practice pages 55 and 56.
  • Try the Sight Reading on pages 50 and 58.

BUCKETLINE

  • Practice Time: 20m/5d
  • PLAY WITH A METRONOME ON BUCKET HEAD!!! 72BPM. Work on rhythms on Bucket stomp
  • Wonder Drumline Book
    • Practice all exercises (excluding “Rolls & Rhythms”) to the goal of memorization at moderate tempos (80-120bpm) and stick heights (mezzo-forte and forte (plus piano-forte for accent exercises). Keep utilizing the mark time to guide your ability to keep good tempo. Write in the foot work (lefts and rights) above the staff for “Count Up Legatos” and practice these individual measures to see how the feet align with the hands; keep in mind the subdivided ‘upbeat’ motion in the mark time to help with the measures that have a left hand starting on an upbeat.

DRUMLINE

  • Practice Time: 20m/5d
  • Practice your rhythms for your specific parts in the Drumline Book working all stick heights and a range of tempos. Keep prioritizing memorization! Also specifically target some “chop building” by taking tempos up past your personal threshold for “Legatos” and “Double/Triple Beat.” Snares, Flubs, and Quads also focus extra on the “Rolls & Rhythm Tree” exercise. All players need to memorize “Bacon & Eggs” cadence and keep looking ahead at learning “Piper’s Processional” cadence.

    • The idea of story telling is what we’re trying to develop. Last week’s homework was to sequence the commute to Wonder – breakfast, packing for the day, loading up into the car, riding in the car, arriving at the parking lot, entering the building, seeing friends!
    • It’s a sequence of events and hopefully a few pictures capture the “feeling” or emotions of the event.
    • This week’s homework: take a sequence of pictures of anything you go out to do. Museum, grocery store, gas station… The sequence begins in the house, and ends when the task is finished.
