Getting Started with the Rock School Grade Book

Firstly, if you haven't got one already, you'll want to acquire a Rock School grade book. Here's why:

• There's a lot you can learn from this course without a grade book.
• However, it will be much more effective if you have one.

Course Structure

This course is structured as follows:

1. Pieces:

   • We start with the pieces.
   • Each piece is performed by a drummer who specializes in that style.

2. Professional Insights:

   • After each performance, the drummer will provide their professional perspective on the piece.
   • This includes tips on how to play the style authentically.

Note: Often, these analyses will go beyond what's technically required for the grade exam. Embrace this challenge; relish it! That's what this course is about, taking you to the next level of professional advice.

1. Technical Exercises:

   • After the pieces, we will delve into technical exercises, which are the building blocks of any drummer's technique.

2. Other Elements:

   • We also provide unique insights on various elements of the Rock School syllabus, including:
     • Sight Reading
     • Improvisation
     • Interpretation
