THE DESIGN OF AN ONLINE LEARNING RESOURCE FOR INTERMEDIATE PERCUSSIONISTS ON THE TOPIC OF FOUR MALLETS TECHNIQUE

The purpose of this research: the Design of an Online Learning Resource for Intermediate Percussionists is to create an online learning resource for intermediate percussionists exploring the topic of Four Mallets technique.

The researcher investigated the process of building an online learning resource for intermediate percussionists on the issue of the Four Mallets technique through explorations of 1) the learning context of keyboard percussion instruments in Thailand, and 2) the online learning resources for intermediate percussionists, including the creation of exercises, etudes, demonstration videos, website design, and workshop and activity design. The researcher's goal is to create a learning resource design that is appropriate for the existing context of percussion studies in Thailand, as well as to offer a model for performance artists who seek to expand their role as educators.

As a result, the researcher has created a website for percussionists as a learning resource on the issue of four mallets, which includes fundamental exercises on Four Mallets Techniques, etude pieces that conclude the essential technique from the exercises, and demonstration videos of exercises and etudes. Furthermore, the researcher has organized a workshop and seminar to explain and transmit research findings to practitioners and students of today.
