PRODUCTION

SMART Goal Starting Point Evidence

I will work through the modern band method book and various youtube videos to learn the fundamentals of drumming and drum notation. As of now, I know very little about drum notation.

SMART Goal Ending Point Evidence

I have finished the modern band method book. Now I roughly know the different symbols that represent different tones and drums versus symbols and where they are all located on the staff through watching youtube videos of drumset songs that have the music with the recording, and the Vic Firth tutorials.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills:

Ways of Thinking

This project helped me develop my creativity and problem-solving by forcing me to find new ways of thinking outside of the box to troubleshoot drumsets and use what I have learned to become more creative with music in general.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

This project helped me advance my communication and collaboration skills because I had to work with other people that are also interested in drumming and I had to communicate ways that I was going to accomplish my goals.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

For this project, I used various tools such as an electronic drumset, a real drumset, youtube, the internet, and the modern band method book.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

The skills I developed during this project will be helpful in my future life and career because communication was a big thing in this project and things tend to work better when people can communicate well.
