Lesson Comments
Since Sadie and Ashley were absent, we spent the class developing Devin's research paper. The class was excellent. We accomplished so much more than with three.
Sixteenth note hi-hat ride patterns; Paralyzer intro, main groove and accented sixteenth note snare drum fill..
Lesson Outline
Played the sixteenth note hi-hat accent groove patterns and exercises from Realistic Rock. Played through the intro and main groove to Paralyzer, paying particular attention to the transition from the intro to the verse. Devin was able to play this up to speed with the recorded track, so we have made great progress here. We ended by working on the alternating accent pattern in the sixteenth note snare drum fill coming out of verse one that sets up the start of the first chorus.
Assignment
Practice Paralyzer and the sixteenth note hi-hat accent exercises from Realistic Rock.

Great session! Devin really has made great progress in his skill level as well as his confidence. The fact that he was able to play nearly perfectly the intro and first verse of Paralyzer in time to the recorded track is a huge milestone for him. Very proud of his progress.

This was a good class. It was good for students to see that I found the plot complicated too and needed to make visual notes.
Students set up and presented their power points to fellow students and teachers. They fielded questions and presented in spanish. They discussed 5 de mayo and brough chips and salsa.
