- Prepare for the instrument you have the most experience in performing, or what you are interested in performing on.
- Metronome markings are indicated; you will be expected to perform up to the given tempos for each exercise.
- Get used to marking time (drumline) and using a metronome for each exercise. We want to get an idea of your sense of time as well as your ability to move while you play.
