To learn advanced snare drum techniques from leading educators in order to teach Northern Territory students

Major lessons:

• The Level System provides a great technique base, from which to develop other more advanced techniques required to execute more complex repertoire.
• Bill Bachman’s teaching philosophy of ‘earned progression’ through the material he uses,has directly influenced how I structure curriculum and lessons for both my students and for my own learning.
• Ultimately, technique is a means of obtaining a desired sound and tone, and of allowing your musical ideas to be readily accessible. Therefore, having a wide range of techniques at your disposal provides a wider vocabulary of sound, tone and ideas to be available to express yourself musically.
