Front Ensemble Technique Guide And Exercise Packet ? General Considerations ? Posture Body Position Movement ? Two Mallet Technique ? Four Mallet Technique ? Stroke Types The following is a compilation of the basic technical aspects addressed on a regular basis in the EPCHS front ensemble The approach to the instruments and the means with which we achieve our goals are customized to our ideals of sound performance and representing the Evergreen Park Community High School Percussion Ensemble in the best possible way GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS The way we present ourselves is of the utmost importance to performing at the level we strive to attain Proper care and maintenance of the instruments continually cleaning all the equipment and looking the part of a professional musician are all part of the image we make for ourselves For that reason it is expected that the instruments and equipment look and sound superb at all times Before any performance or rehearsal all equipment must be inspected for problems cleaned thoroughly membranes tuned and ??show ? equipment mallets towels cymbals etc prepared Any problems with equipment or items that are broken MUST be reported to a sta ? member IMMEDIATELY so that appropriate accommodations may be made for repairs and or replacement The front ensemble is approached in the most ways just like a percussion ensemble We do not stand at attention with our sticks in Insetad we stand at the ready using good posture hands are placed left over right in front of the body with or without mallets in the hands Stay relaxed look calm and be ready for anything Be prepared CPOSTURE ? FROM THE GROUND UP We will begin with our feet shoulder width apart Your legs should be relaxed knees slightly bent Rigidity will greatly inhibit your range of motion so it is best to maintain your exibility from the beginning and start forming good habits on even the simplest exercises Keep your back and neck straight and allow your arms to hang naturally at your side There should be NO tension in your neck or shoulders Stand with your chin up at all times and look down your nose to see the instruments as opposed to hunching over to see the keys Things to keep in mind ? Avoid crossing your feet while playing and never stand with your feet crossed In general this will inhibit your range of motion and prevent you from moving uidly behind the instrument ? When moving from instrument to instrument use large graceful steps as opposed to shu ing with small steps You will move much faster this way and look less frantic Remember we are professional in everything we do at all times ? Vibraphone players should stand with their right toes on the pedal at all times Do not use the entire foot ?? it is not necessary to exert that much energy Instead keep your weight distributed evenly between both feet and use only the toes for pedaling ?
