“Beyond Basic Percussion” fills a great void in beginning percussion instruction. Music educators should be thrilled to have video/audio demonstrations of the various percussion instruments used in concert performance and fun music for immediate application."
James B. Campbell - Professor of Percussion, University of Kentucky (Lexington, KY)
"Beyond Basic Percussion" is a great resource for any school band program that wants to develop well-rounded percussionists. The musical concepts presented in this series pick up where other methods leave off. The music and performance techniques are presented by veteran teachers who are in the classroom every day and know what works to help students achieve their best. "Beyond Basic Percussion" is a welcome addition to the field of percussion education - a must have for any serious teacher."
David Ratliff - Director of Bands, Madison Southern HS & Foley Middle School (Berea, Kentucky)
"I think this collection is going to fill a very valuable gap in current percussion ensemble literature. The "easy difficulty level" but "quality composed" range has long been void of much literature. This book is going to work perfectly with my students, allowing them to work on individual techniques and instruments within the framework of an actual piece of music. Great book!!"
Dr. Brian S. Mason - Associate Professor of Percussion, Morehead State University
"There are so many issues that percussionists face apart from simply playing the music." Beyond Basic Percussion" helps the instructor address those issues in a logical and guided format that will provide a fun and musical experience for the students. This book is a “must have” for any serious educator of young percussionists." |
