PERCUSSION
When approaching tempo (speed), what should we always keep in consideration?
the faster we go the higher we play
the amount of elbow we should be using
proper stick-holding technique
the faster we go
the lower we play
Answer explanation
Faster tempos and high stick levels do not mix as we begin to lose stick control. We should consider lowering stick heights at faster tempos.
Regardless of the tempo or speed we play, proper technique should ALWAYS be considered: palms downward, fingers together, inverted "V" frame, and using our wrists!!!!

We can say ____ when we breathe and attack our notes together.
Answer explanation
We can break "Yoda" down into two syllables (yo - dah) to help us attack together. Breath in while mimicking "yo" and attack the note on "dah".
While breathing is essential to playing woodwind and brass instruments, percussionists are encouraged to breathe in and out to further solidify tempo with the full ensemble.
