16 | How We Learn: Delécluse

 

Welcome to How I Learn, where the Mikes compare notes on their learning strategies, struggles, and successes.

Today: the music of Jacques Delécluse, percussionist and composer whose oeuvre has become central to many percussionists’ training.

In this “how I wish I had learned” episode, the Mikes discuss lay their cards on the table, sharing best practices for:

  • Selecting instruments, implements, stickings, and more.

  • Planning learning projects

  • Identifying and practicing challenging passages

  • Organizing practice sessions

  • Contextualizing Delécluse’s musical style

  • Learning with an eye towards long-term growth

Mike C wrote something about warming up with Delécluse here.
