Iowa All-State 2024
It’s that time of year again!
Iowa All-State auditions are coming up and I have example videos to help percussion students prepare and think about their preparation process. These videos aren’t the only way to play the etudes, but I think they represent a good option for students.
GUIDING QUESTIONS
I have two friends who play at the MET, Rob Knopper and Jason Haaheim. Both of them are great musicians, not because of some magical in-born talent, but because they work like crazy and have brilliant practice philosophies. I distilled and organized these Guiding Questions from a lot of their work and advice, and have found them to be a powerful tool in my own teaching and practice.
As you read through here, I suggest you test every suggestion with a recorder. What’s good for me isn’t automatically good for you, and you have to make YOUR recording sound YOUR best.
