1) Literacy: includes new notes and fingering, rhythmic and melodic vocabulary, form, terminology
2) Practice Process: includes introduction and integration of new skills, repetition with variation
3) Co-ordination: fingering, body percussion, mallet technique
4) Extensions: creative choices, improvisation, movement, ensemble sequences
