Included in Set #2
Foundation Set 2 focuses on the first seven notes typically introduced in most method books: Ti, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La.
Brass, woodwinds, and mallets use quarter, half, whole, and tied double whole notes,
while the snare part adds eighth notes to that same basic rhythmic vocabulary.
Snare drum also includes buzz rolls, accents, and flams.

Preparatory Exercises
Set #2 is still more “preparatory exercises” than traditional warm-ups. Set #2 adds a note to each end of the range (Concert A and Concert G), while adding more techniques for the snare drum. They continue establishing a framework of basic musical patterns,
adding to the building blocks that lead to scales and scalar exercises.
