About
Hi! My name is Madelyn Kenney. I am a sophomore at Davie High School. This website's purpose is to document the progress on my Genius Hour project for my Honors English II class.
What is Genius Hour?
Genius Hour is a project that my English teacher does every year where we can do ANYTHING. That's right, we get to choose something to do for 12 weeks as long as it helps you learn a new skill or better the world in some way, shape, or form. We are given an hour every Wednesday in class to work on our blogs or work on your project. For my project, I have decided to learn four mallets.
What is Four Mallets?
Four mallets is a method to play chords and more complex pieces using you guessed it-four mallets. here are multiple types of grips used to learn this. I will be using Steven's grip, the most common technique. More information on how to hold Steven's grip is at the link below:
