Essential Elements Exercise 23 on Mallets | Percussion Book 1

Welcome to Musicians Addition! Today, we're diving into page 7 of your Essential Elements book, focusing on the Mallet section. In this video, we explore the concept of left-hand lead and how it can enhance your playing.

We discuss the importance of choosing the right sticking patterns, especially on strong beats like beat one and beat three. While left-hand lead can be effective in certain passages, we also explore the idea of making adjustments for better flow and comfort.

Throughout the video, we walk through exercise 23 from page seven, demonstrating different sticking options and how they affect the overall performance. From starting with the left hand to using double sticking, we showcase how a combination of techniques can elevate your playing.

Join us as we break down the notes, rhythm, and sticking choices, providing insights into making informed decisions for each musical phrase. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced musician, understanding these concepts can improve your musicality and performance.

Don't forget to grab your pencil and mark down the sticking choices that work best for you. It's all about finding what feels natural and comfortable, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable playing experience.
