Download instructions:

All lessons are FREE to download without any registering, paying or any catches!
For best results with pirinting, print our at medium of high quality.  If the document is hard to read, try a higher print quality.

You may want to download the lessons to your hard drive or listen/view them without downloading.  Either way is easy.  Choose a folder from the lessons main page;

Here we have gone into the Hand drum tutorials folder.  Here you will find a list of available lessons, as below, all absolutely free to download, without the pain of paying or registering for anything.

 Fig 2 

Double left clicking on one of these items will open up the lesson.  In this folder the lessons are PDF format. (Other folders also have audio and video lessons but the procedures will be the same.) 
The PDF reader will automatically open and the lesson will begin downloading.  This may take a while because some of the images are good resolution for clarity.  Be patient and bear in mind that all lessons open in a new window so you can minimise it and look at something else while you wait.

To read the PDF files, download the acrobat reader from Adobe, free

When the lessons load they will look something like this;
 
 

If you choose an audio or video file then you will end up with Real player or Quick time to view/listen to the files.  Again, these are always in a new window so you can browse elsewhere whilst they are downloading.  Some of the files are large so will take a while to download, esp on the free tracks section of the audio page.

Alternatively you might want to download the files to you hard drive for future easy reference. I would recommend this.  Simply right click the lesson and select 'save target as' as below.

             
 

Then a brief downloading box will appear on the screen;

  

This window is quickly followed by the window where you will choose the destination location on your hard drive for the lesson you are about to download. Here I am saving it in the 'invaders folder' on my hard drive.  Make a folder and name it ''Pete Lockett lessons'  and save the lesson in there, within another sub folder if you think you will be downloading a lot of different ones.  You can re name the lesson but I would suggest you do not do this as it will confuse the order of the lessons when you download more of the same series.

  

Thats it.  You can then access the files from those folders without being on line or on my web site.  The 'right click' - 'save target as' procedure is the same for audio or video files so as long as you have the space on your hard drive, you can save them all.  A good tip is to get a good system of folders so it is all easy to locate.
