10 Snare Drum Pieces Level 2
Starting in the summer term of 2015, Theo Lawrence began teaching the MYM Snare Drumline group in
Montgomeryshire (Wales, UK). The rebranded youth music group expanded to include this new group, and also the
MYM Guitar & Ukulele group, also tutored by Theo.
After 2 terms of teaching a group of pupils aged between 8 and 12, some complete beginners and some more
advanced, Theo is releasing the first of many Snare Drum Sheet Music books.
The MYM Snare Drumline group is Theo’s adaption of ‘Drumline’ groups, tribal drumming, military drumming, Drum
Corps, and epic styles of film score music.
There are many areas left to explore for the drum group. In this first book, Theo has focussed on building a
foundation of simple and short snare drum pieces to help give the group confidence and develop a strong sense of
rhythm, timing and pulse. There is also a very small amount of dynamic use, repeats, and drum rudiments.
Level 1 Book
The Level 1 book is designed for complete beginners, or ‘basic beginners’ level. This level could also be played by
players of other instruments that are new to drums.
Level 2 Book
Level 2 is designed for grade 12 level. The rhythms are more complex, but there are no buzz rolls or drags.
Level 3 Book
Created for grade 23 level drummers. It encorporates buzz rolls, drags, flams, and harder rhythms.
These books are primarily intended for groups of drummers or differing abilities. Teachers may print entire books for
the students, or pick and choose pieces to suit them. Teachers or students may also use these sheets or books for
single snare drum playing. Teachers may purchase this book online and print out unlimited copies for their students.
