In September 1980 he became the first enrollee in the Percussion Institute of Technology (P| Upon graduating in September of 1981, ( was offered a teaching position with the ‘school as a staff instructor. As well as having years of extensive hands-on teaching experience, he is also the author of Music Reading for Drums, : sight-reading curriculum that is used as the basis of the drum reading program. H expertise in a wide variety of styles and techniques has made him an invaluable part of the PLT. staff.

St Vertical lines through the staff are called barlines. ‘The space between two barlines is called a measure or a bar. ‘Two barlines close together, referred to as a double bar, are used to indicate the end of a musical section. A double bar with one thin and one thick line is used to indicate the end of a composition. SSS] Double bars with two dots next to them, in the 2nd and 3rd ‘spaces of the staff, are called repeat signs. The section between these signs is to be repeated.Notes and Rests ‘The characters used to represent rhythm and duration are called notes. Notes consist of one or more of the following : a note head astem one or more flags one or more beams Beams are used to create groupings of two or more notes that are otherwise flagged. Whole notes, half notes and quarter notes have no flags, therefore, they connot be beamed together. The characters used to notate silence are called rests. The various notes and rests in order of their durational value are: Notes Rests Whole ___—_ = Half____ J ~ Quarter J i Eighth + 7 Note: Sixteenth __ J haveibesane Thirty-second __ S Stee tee Ate g 3 : Sixty-fourth }Time Signatures Time signatures are fractions used in music to establish a mathematical framework upon which to notate pulse and rhythm. The numerator (upper numeral) establishes the number of beats per measure. The demominator (lower numeral) establishes the note or rest value receiving one beat The numerator of a time signature can conceivably be any number. The denominator, however, must represent a specific note value. Throughout this text we will refer to the various meters by the note values of their denominators. | Note value Referred to Denominator represented asa(n): 2 Half note meter 4 Quarter note meter. d Eighth note meter 16 d Sixteenth note meter 32 Thirty-second note meter Examples: In four-four time there are four beats per measure and the quarter note or rest gets one beat. In two-two time there are two beats per measure and the half note or rest gets one beat. In seven-eight time there are seven beats per measure and the eighth note or rest gets one beat. on NNOThe Pulse In music, the underlying steady beat upon which rhythms are based is called the pulse. The speed of a pulse is called the tempo. Tempi (plural for tempo) are measured in beats per minute (b.p.m.). The mechanical or electronic device used to measure b.p.m. is called a metronome. ‘A metronome marking (m.m.) is notated by using a note value (usually that which is represented in the denominator of the time signature), an equals sign and a number representing the b.p.m. These markings are positioned near the time signature. Examples: J=60 In this example the pulse is 60 b.p.m., there are four beats per measure and the quarter note gets one beat. In this example the pulse is 90 b.pm., there are two beats per measure and the half note gets ‘one beat. In this example the pulse is 120 b.p.m., there are seven beats per measure and the eighth note gets one beat.Taking the pulse and dividing it into two or more equal parts is called subdividing. Examples: J=60 i eee In this example the quarter note pulse of 60 b.p.m. has been subdivided into two equal parts (eighth notes).The eighth notes are to be played at exactly twice the speed of the quarter notes (120 b.p.m.) In this example the quarter note pulse of 40 b.p.m. has been subdivided into four equal parts (sixteenth notes). The sixteenth notes are to be played at exactly four times the speed of the quarter notes (160 b.p.m.) In this example the half note pulse of 90 b.p.m. has been subdivided into two equal parts (quarter notes). The quarter notes are to be played at exactly twice the speed of the half notes (180 b.p.m.) The following chart of NOTE VALUE RELATIONSHIPS shows how each note can be subdivided into larger groups of smaller note value.Note Value Relationships Whole Sixteenth Thirty-second Sixty-fourthCounting ‘The technique of verbally subdividing is called counting. We will use a combination of numbers and syllables to do this. Each vocal sound will represent one note from its related subdivision. The note value each syllable represents depends on the value of the denominator of the time signature. ‘The numbers are used to indicate the pulse, starting with one and counting up to the number of beats per measure. Counting the pulse is called one part counting. Examples: In a quarter note meter one part counting represents the quarter note: In a half note meter one part counting Tepresents the half note. Iman eighth note meter one part counting represents the eighth note. t —o es 7 | cont i 2 3 4 ~ °«5 \ws wo Ce ie i ie is ess If we subdivide the pulse into groups of two we add the syllable "an" between each number as we count. This is called two part counting. We will abbreviate the "an" by using a plus sign (+). ‘The "an" is also commonly referred to as the "and". In a quarter note meter two part counting represents the eighth note. Ina half note meter two part counting represents the quarter note. count 1 + 2 + In an eighth note meter two part counting represents the sixteenth note. cout 1 +2434 44+5412 If we subdivide the pulse into groups of four, we add the syllables "e", “an”, “duh”, evenly between each number as we count, This is called four part counting. We will abbreviate the "duh" by simply using the letter d. The "duh" is also commonly referred to as the "a". In a quarter note meter four part counting represents the sixteenth note. 1 e an duh 2 e an duh 3c an duh 4 e an duh +d 2 e + d3 e€ + d 4 © + d count le In a half note meter four part counting represents the eighth note.

In order to notate these subdivisions artificial notation is used. This is done by placing any combination of notes or rests in brackets or beamed together above or below the numeral representing that subdivision. ‘There is no note or rest, in basic form, that represents one third of a beat. In order to notate this three part subdivision in a quarter note meter we can place any combination of three eighth notes or rests in brackets or beamed together above or below the numeral three. When counting three part counting we will say the syllables "tuh” "tuh" in between the numbers. We will abbreviate the "tuh" sound by using the letter T. Ina half note meter this is done by placing any combination of three quarter notes or rests in brackets above or below the numeral three. In an eighth note meter this is done by placing any combination of three sixteenth notes or rests in brackets or beamed together above or below the numeral three. i PTT e¢arTarr4arrstt { 3 $3 3 3 38 FSS Fa 62y ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Swing Eighths In music with a swing or shuffled feel, such as be-bop, jazz, dixieland, big band swing, blues and rock shuffles etc., straight eighth note notation is commonly used.

This separation is called the imaginary barline. This is the barline that would exist if two bars of two-four were used instead of the one bar of four-four. If any note smaller than a half note is to sustain across the imaginary barline two notes tied together are usually used in its place. 1) No separation between beats 2and3 Actual Barline in 2/4.

The section between these signs is to be repeated. Multiple Section Repeat Signs: If a section is to be played more than twice, the number of times it is to be played and the letter "X" will be placed at the beginning of the repeated section. In this example the four bar phrase is to be played five times. 5X Single Measure Repeats: The symbol in the 2nd,3rd and 4th measures of this example tells you to repeat whatever is notated in the previous measure. Multiple Measure Repeats: The numeral above the multiple measure repeat sign tells you how many of the previous measures are to be repeated. In this example you would repeat the previous two measures, 2 In this example you would repeat the previous four measures. Endings: In this example play bars 1-4. Repeat back to bar 1. Play bars 1-2 again. Skip the Ist ending and play the 2nd ending. Repeat back to bar 1 again. Play bars 1-2 again. Skip the Ist and 2nd endings and play the 3rd ending. Then continue on to the next section.D.C. ‘(da capo) means to return to the very beginning of the composition. D.S. (dal segno) means to return to this Sign :§ which is previously notated. Coda Usually the ending section of a composition which is notated by this symbol €}. fine The end or final note of a composition. D.C, al Coda Retum to the top, play to the Coda Sign which is previously notated and then play the Coda. D.S. al Coda Return to the Sign & play to the Coda Sign which is previously notated and then play the Coda, D.C. al fine Return to the top and play to the fine. DS. al fine Retum to the Sign & and play to the fine. IMPORTANT: On the D.C. or D.S. of a composition a classical rule is that no repeats are to be taken unless otherwise notated, Rehersal Letters and Bar Numbers are used on charts to give the conductor and the players a way to find specific passages quickly. Fermata or Bird's Eye When this symbol > is placed above a note the pulse will be interrupted and that note will be sustained (held out) uuntil you receive the Cut Off / cue from the conductor. 127128 Sample Road Map with D.S. 1) Play bars 1-12 2) Repeat to letter A (bar 5) 3) Play bars 5-10 4) Skip Ist Ending 5) Play 2nd Ending (bars 13-14) 6) Repeat to letter A again (bar 5) 7) Play bars 5-10 8) Skip 1st and 2nd Endings 9) Play 3rd Ending (bars 15-16) 10) Continue on to letter B 11) Play bars 17-18 12) Play bars 19-20 (repeat of 17-18) 13) Play 21-24 (repeat of 17-20) 14) D.S. to letter A (bar 5) 15) Play bar 5-10 16)Take 3rd Ending (bars 15-16) **4#Remember: no repeats on a D.C. or D.S. unless otherwise noted. 17) Play 17-20 18) Play the Coda (25-28)1) Play bars 1-4 (Intro) 2) Play bars 5-12 3) Repeat to bar 5 4) Play bars 5-10 5) Skip Ist ending 6) Play 2nd ending (bars 13-14) 7) Play letter B (bars 15-22) 8) Repeat to letter A 9) Repeat steps 2-7 10) D.C.(to the top) 11) The repeats are good so repeat steps 1-6 12) Play letter B to the fine (bars 15 - the last note of bar 21) 129130 Checklist 1&3 Counting System 1) In4- straight & swing eighths - 2 part counting 2) In4- straight & swing eighths - 1 part counting 3) In2- straight & swing eighths - 4 part counting 4) In2- straight & swing eighths - 2 part counting 5) In2- straight & swing eighths - 1 part counting 80-100 100-120 120-140 90-115 115-140 140-165 Date CompletedSt. Valentine's Day Massacre D.C. al Coda 131132 Checklist 1&3@ Counting System 1) In4- straight & swing eighths - 2 partcounting J 2) In4- straight & swing eighths - 1 part counting 3) In2- straight & swing eighths - 4 part counting 4) In2- straight & swing eighths - 2 part counting 5) In2- straight & swing eighths - 1 part counting Date Completed 00Escrow Blues 2 8134 Checklist 1&3 Counting System 1) In4- straight & swing eighths - 2 part counting 2) In4- straight & swing eighths - 1 part counting 3) In2- straight & swing eighths - 4 part counting 4) In2- straight & swing eighths - 2 part counting 5) In2- straight & swing eighths - 1 part counting m.m.

(Musicians Institute). I consider it an honor and a pleasure to have been associated with these great musicians and educators for the past seventeen years. A special thanks to my first and most influential teacher, Dave Bournazian ("Mr. B"); a great educator, friend and mentor to thousands during his 30 plus years of teaching. For their technical support I would like to thank Alexis Sklarevski, Bobby Gabriele, David Oakes, Ed Zajac, Bruce Buckingham, Jeff Steele and Frank Ayrado. Their phone numbers and willingness to help out the "computer illiterate” were among my most valuable assets during the long hours working on this project. This book is dedicated to my beautiful wife Val, and my terrific son Brandon, who give me love and inspiration on a daily basis. 271SSS Z_ LLL Srpoves for Elect Bass Advanced Scale Concey + ‘& Licks for Guitar a Lert ‘pon ar Bt oes BoD ik sn Perse eons 1 Es {apse Rok Pack 5295 renga Basic Blues Guitar Socal Coancpe. pases ooos03 $995 ene eons ie {eps Boe Pc 3235 Bmotemenaee Creative Chord Sh: Heil Spomerina PS (0095170 Boo Pack. 95 Praesens 00695172 Book/CD Pack 95, Diminished Scale for Guitar Spon tar tad Ra ons si295 Coops Roa ck 95 GGultar Basis Musicians = Gute ec Ooo Boa ah sags 5 es Institute Press ¢), Salsa Hanon Guitar Hanon roe Den by rier Dom Seer the official series of Southern owsssz1 eee sss Guta soloing oe “bert BSraallan Coordination for Drumset California's renowned music school, 22mmitet tb ats yasmin for (00695190 Book/CD Pack $1795 ‘Master Clase fa $495 Musicians Institute.
