<ol>
<li>Observation keys (clef), scales (key signatures) and time signature (time signature).</li>
<li>See totality of songs to find things that are unpredictable, such as: key changes, interval one octave, accidental (# / þ)</li>
<li>Pulse count and rhythmic! Feel the pulse in our bodies to tap, clap, pat, and snaps! Choose tempo is not too fast nor too slow! Rhythm is a very important factor in the ability of sight reading. Because without rhythm, the song will not be formed well although not completely.</li>
<li>Sing tone with "la", "ma", "na" or alphabet tone "C", "D", "E" of each melody in the right hand and left hand separately!</li>
<li>Visualize the finger is being played on the piano keys without tolling, place your fingers on your lap!</li>
<li>Play songs while still counting and feel the pulse while the eyes still look towards scores!</li>
<li>Assess your own game, whether accurate or not? If not, once again played in a slower tempo.</li>
</ol>

This time, I will reveal the secret techniques of the guitar, especially metal guitarist to play music with metal genre. Maybe some of you have heard or a loyal listener of music metal example As I Lying Dying, Bullet for My Valentine, Asking Alexandria, etc. When we hear the music genre like this would probably not be separated off from the guitar techniques and licks that sound complicated. But did you know that in fact of all the complex-complex was derived from the basic techniques are easy. This time I will give you the secrets of metal guitar techniques that must be mastered to become a guitarist metal music. Actually, if we look from the characteristic of metalcore music is tuning the guitar using drop D, drop C, or else drop and breakdown techniques (such as the hardcore genre) so these are the two points that we must know before we go any direction further. 1. Drop tuning is tuning where the strings 6 (top string) in turunin tuning. For example, to drop D. Whereas in the past we had the standard tuning EADGBE, then when we want to use drop D then we turunin tuning 6 strings so that together with the strings pitched 4 D, so that the whole becomes DADGBE tuning. 2. Breakdown is a guitar technique is to make the guitar sound interrupted with a certain tempo. To do so, you use the fast picking technique then take a split-second pause. To understand what I mean, you try to listen to the songs from August Burns Red. It requires compactness with the bass and drums kick on. Once you know about two important points in play metalcore, it's time to discuss the techniques that are often used by guitarists metalcore. There are at least 5 techniques are often used by guitarists metalcore: 
<ol>
<li>Downstroke-upstroke is the basic technique of picking. Usually in metalcore use fast picking. Read also posting a simple way to train picking.</li>
<li>Pinch harmonics is a technique that uses a pick and assisted with the thumb as a producer of harmonic tones. It made a split second after you pluck the strings followed by a touch of the thumb.</li>
<li>Arpeggio licks arpeggio technique is modified in such a way so as to form beautiful tones. Usually placed on the chorus but did not rule on the intro or ending part. You can hear it in the songs Trivium.</li>
<li>The two guitar harmony is a technique that combines the harmony of the two guitars to form a beautiful rhythm. That is why almost all metalcore band using the 2 guitarists. To understand the harmony between the two guitars, you should know a little about the scale-specific scale making it easier to find the harmony notes.</li>
<li>Picking powered, meaning you have to play it expressly and powerful especially when doing the breakdown. Therefore, you must use a thick picking picking power to help you.</li>
</ol>
These are common techniques that are often used. Of course you can add other techniques, such as wharmmy bar in your guitar solos.

This section is probably the most difficult drum set. It is important that you experiment with all the different drumheads, possibly damping, and various levels of tension when tuning the bass drum head both. Equally important is to listen to lots of music tuning. This is important because you will know what to look for when your sound set. Doing all of the above will help you find the kind of bass drum sound you like best. Here is a way or steps to tune the correct bass drum: 
<ul>
<li>Open all the head, then enter ± 3 cm thick foam, with a width equal to the length of the bass drum, so that it touches both head. For long, for ± 1/2 of the circumference of the bass drum. Can also use a pillow or rolled towel then touched to the bass drum head.</li>
<li>Then attach the batter head (skin beater hit the pedal). Turn the screw until the wrinkles disappear (turn by crossing sequence).</li>
<li>After that plug resonant head (foreskin bass). Adjust the tension with batter head.</li>
</ul>
To produce drum sounds good, it's good drumhead (skin / membrane) is replaced with a drumhead that good anyway. There are two types of basic materials maker drumhead, which DuPont and Toray. Drumhead with DuPont base material is the best choice. Some brands drumhead with DuPont base material is Remo, Evans, Aquarian, Dynamic, etc.. As for the tune tom drum, there are 2 types of tom, the rack tom (tom the position dependent), and a floor tom (tom that is placed on the floor and legs straight). 
<ol>
<li>For the batter head, do the same way with the snare batter head. Find a sound that fits with what you want. Do not be too loose, because the sound will break. And also do not be too hard, because the sound will be muffled.</li>
<li>Then the resonant head (head down to the resonant sound). Create tension resonant head slightly lower or equal to the batter head. Make enough to produce sustained.</li>
</ol>
Well, that's the way I do to get a good drum sound. Never be bored to tamper with and change the setting, in order to get the right sound to your taste.

In general there are 3 parts that need to be in tune Drum, the snare, tom, and bass drum. Drum tuning can not be easily and quickly to do, unlike most other instruments. No tools are definitely like a guitar tuner. But there is a tool called DrumDial that can help to drum tuning. Basically this is just a tool to measure the pressure on the head drum, drum head pressure gauge on each lugs to equal and greater precision when tuning drums, the rest is returned to the "feeling" drummer itself. There are several factors that make the drum sounds good and as you wish. Factors that affect the sound of the drum is a musical instrument: 
 
<ol>
<li>The acoustics of the room</li>
<li>The type of drum shell</li>
<li>How hard loe press drum</li>
<li>Quality drum</li>
<li>The type of drum head used</li>
<li>Type of muffling (damper / dampers) used</li>
<li>The type of finish on the drums (laminate or stain)</li>
<li>Ventilation of the drum. Size and placement</li>
<li>How do I set rims</li>
<li>To find that "sweet" spot on the drum. Each drum has a specific place where the best sound is consistently</li>
</ol>
 For snare drum tuning, there are 3 parts that need to be tuned in order to produce a good snare sound, the batter head (skin on which to hit), snare side head (under the skin to respond to the snare wire), and the snare wire (wire under snare , which produces the snare). Start with the batter head (upper shell). Remove the batter head of the shell (body drums). Flex head by pressing the edges to the inside (do not be afraid broken, batter head is very strong). After that, put your head on shellnya. Put the rim (metal ring), and turn the tension rod (bolt) using a hand with crossed sequence. For example, one bolt then bolt just opposite, and so on. Play all bolts crosswise order, until it can not be played again by hand. After that, turn the drum key (key players bolt), turn 1/2 rounds of all the bolts crosswise. Press the center of the head using 2 hands (do not be scared out of order), the emphasis is useful for mounting head has not changed. At the edge of the head (near the bolt) with a drum key, and make that all sound the same section. Do a few rounds until you get the desired sound. Then the snare side head (bottom shell). Do it the same way, but be careful with this because it is very thin head (do not do stretching and emphasis). Create tension head is slightly higher than the batter's head, in order to respond properly wire snare. In order to produce a good snare sound, make a snare wire tension so as to capture the sound of the softly blow though. Do not adjust wire too taut, as the snare sound will be captured.
