Lesson Comments
Cam did very well today. After a quick warm up he was able to play up and down the ladder of basic subdivisions at 100 bpm showing commendable accuracy and the ability to adjust back to tempo without losing his sticking. He was then able to take paradiddles through the ladder at 100 bpm. He struggled to play 16th note paradiddles cleanly at that tempo but was still able to perform them. He then made solid progress on the 40 bar reading exercise showing a definite improvement in the recognition of broken 16th note phrases. To celebrate a job well done we played badminton for the last 10 minutes of class.
