Seniors, is the drum exam useful?

It's useless. Let me explain, I am from Beijing, although I have graduated from university now, but I was also a special student at that time.

Percussion. By the end of this year, many schools will begin to recruit students with instrumental music specialties, and then you will have to go to the school to sign up, and then interview to see if the school is interested in you. At that time, at the end of the year, we also had a unified examination verification, and we found many professional teachers to give you an art grade, and people listened to your performance on the spot, not looking at your certificate.

Of course, it's the same for every school. If you pass the skill test, the school doesn't care if you have a 200-level certificate.

In fact, it's not that the exam is useless, it's just that you, the teacher, said that spending tens of thousands of dollars should be a cheat.

The extra points are different for each school, for example, my classmate was admitted to Tsinghua University at that time, and Tsinghua University said that it would drop 50 points. Some of the exams are better, and the school can say that one line is enough. Some of them are too artistic.

It depends on your skill level and whether the school is very short of drum kits.

of this location. We just didn't have percussion at the time, so we came and recorded a few. It is the point of the art line.

I hope it can help you, and don't use this as a step to college, it won't help you for the rest of your life, it will only help you cultivate your sentiments.

Since the drum certificate is not used as a plus point in the college entrance examination, many of them are not certified. In addition, now that the exam is not allowed to skip the exam, not many people are willing to take the exam.

Hello dear, after my non-stop inquiries and analysis, I recommend the following answers for you.

The significance of the examination 1. The examination certificate is a staged record of the learning process of students' musical instruments; 2. The examination certificate is a reflection of the learning level of the musical instrument and the quality and level of the instrument. Reasons for the Exam Learning to take a musical instrument is like learning a child in a school culture class, no one will ask: "Can I study in school without taking the exam?"

In fact, exams are needed to study, mainly to review what has already been studied; Identify blind spots and weaknesses in your own learning; Examining the teacher's teaching, etc., allows the learner to learn lessons and make timely adjustments in the learning process after the exam. These exams are also intended for instrument learners, so children should be allowed to take the exams at the appropriate time. In addition to the reasons mentioned above for taking the exam, for children learning musical instruments, there is also the need to obtain a certificate and participate in performances.

Learning should participate in the examination, but learning is not only for the examination, this needs parents to grasp well, to have a correct and objective understanding of the examination, the examination is just a practical activity in the process of learning the drum, do not take the examination as the main goal of drum learning, not only to pay attention to the examination, but also not all just for the sake of the examination and hurt the child's enthusiasm for learning and the mastery of real skills, which is equivalent to pulling out the seedlings.

The above results are for your reference, I hope mine can be helpful to you!

If it refers to the social art drum level exam, there will be a total of 10 levels, 1-3 levels are generally simple snare drum exams, some basic rhythms of the snare drum;

Levels 4-6 add different rhythm types such as 4 4 6 8 2 4 and solo rhythms;

Level 6 and above will incorporate different style exercises and some special rhythm types.

If it is the Emperor's drum level test, there is also a level 10, of course, it will be much more difficult than the social art level test, the Emperor's level test is recognized in most parts of the world, and the social art level is only recognized in China, and even many first- and second-tier cities are not very recognized.

There is also a professional drum level exam, called Holy Trinity, although it is a first-class school grade exam, but it has been uniformly recognized by the industry.

1. If the drum kit is just for children to learn as an amateur interest, then the significance of the drum level exam is not particularly great, after all, it is only regarded as an amateur activity to cultivate children; If your child is very interested in learning the drum kit, taking the drum exam can help the child understand his current ability position.

2. If you want to take the exam, then you must take the level test of the drum kit as a tool to spur and test your current learning situation and mastery ability. Parents must not have too much utilitarianism and comparison. In itself, the purpose of the Drum Grading Examination is to popularize and improve the quality of art education in the country.

3. There are ten levels from level 1 to level 10 in the drum test. In order to achieve the Drum Kit Grade at the Performance Diploma level, applicants for this level must have proof of ability to obtain the Drum Kit Grade 10. The higher the level of the drum test, the higher the ability required of the child's performance.

In the face of the social examination of the drum kit, we must have a normal heart, and the examination provides children with an opportunity to test themselves, know themselves and get learning feedback. In the early stage of children's learning, the examination also provides children with an opportunity to perform, which can improve their on-the-spot ability and performance confidence.

Snare Drum Instrument History:

1. Since the 14th century, Swiss infantry (mercenaries) have used side drums and piccolos together. After that, the side drum spread throughout Europe.

2. In the early days, the height of the side drum was equal to or slightly larger than the diameter. The drum skin used was thicker than the modern ones, and the drumsticks were thicker, with heavier pronunciations and a lack of bright colors.

3. It was only in the middle of the 20th century that advanced mechanisms were developed that allowed the strings to leave the drum immediately (in order to produce special effects or to avoid unwanted resonances caused by other instruments). Before the 20th century, casings were commonly used as string membranes. By the 19th century, the military was still playing the snare drum according to the traditional method of dictation, and it was only later when the snare drum was used in the orchestra that the performer needed sheet music.

4. Historical data prove that the first to use the snare drum in the orchestra were the French composer Gutin Marais's opera "Alcyone" (1706) and Rossini's opera "La Gazza Ladra" (1817), but it never became a formal orchestral instrument until Limsky-Goshakov and other Russian composers at the end of the 19th century adopted the snare drum.
