Stick Control and Malleting (Session 1 of 2)
This two-part course will Help get ringers to think like percussionists. I will teach exercises to increase coordination in malleting and explain sticking patterns. I will help you achieve smooth mallet rolls, even 8th and 16th notes, and effective accents. This course will go over mallet techniques for using both two and four mallets, and examples of when each technique would be appropriate. If you don’t have mallets with you at home you can still participate and learn from this course.
Recommended Equipment: A few bells, 2-4 mallets (or suitable substitute like wooden spoons, dowels, etc), and a practice pad (or substitute chair back, rubber sole, foam etc)
