Hutchinson+Edit+for+Stroup+Lesson

Hi Mr. Stroup! This is Mr. Hutchinson! I really like your So What lesson! The one thing I would change is finding a way to get the drummer more involved in your discussion of chord tones and articulation. Playing drums in a jazz band it's really easy to just not listen to the teacher as he or she discusses things like chord tones and articulations with the winds. I would have the drummer get up from the drumset and play on a keyboard percussion instrument. While there are definitely times you need to have the drummer playing time on the kit, but having them move around more might be a good way to keep them engaged.
