Today’s lesson is how to play dynamics and finger rolls on tambourine and switching from a tambourine excerpt to a marimba excerpt without skipping a beat.
👍🏽How you prepare determines how and if you will place in the audition.
🏆Pro-tip: Keep a journal to track your practice sessions. List what went well, what you worked on, tempos you took for your excerpts, things to work on for tomorrow. ❤️

Today we have an example of a snare excerpt going into a tambourine excerpt. Use that metronome ya’ll. This judge will take off points for missing a beat. Check your quality of sound on all your instruments and play dynamics please.
