Product Overview
Published by Barnhouse. The purpose of the Performing Percussionist series is to present the study of percussion instruments in a logical and musical manner. From the beginning, students should be encouraged to listen, think, and work on a consistent and even sound. Also from the beginning, students must concentrate on developing good "time sense" or "meter sense." These two areas - meter and sound - are stressed throughout the series. Band directors and teachers will find book 2 to be an important part of every percussionists early training. Mr. Coffin has written a wide variety of very playable material that challenges your students with changes of style, dynamics, and multi-percussion situations. It develops a strong foundation for musical sensitivity & finesse through multiple percussion solos, comprehensive mallet studies, ensembles, and time signature studies.
