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
