A Fresh Approach to Mallet Percussion was written to address the specific problems associated with learning to play the keyboard percussion instruments.
Note size is very large in the beginning of the book and printed on the lower half of the page to facilitate the beginner learning to use their peripheral vision when locating the keys on the keyboard.
Speed tests and written work reinforce basic music theory concepts.
Fundamental technique is addressed, as well as learning to read music in the Bass Clef - necessary for playing timpani.
In addition to graphical scale pages which help the student learn tetrachords and major scales, a nine page supplemental mini-book for timpani is included in the back of the book - providing instruction, exercises and solos for the beginning timpanist.
Just pop the CD-ROM in your computer and you'll have access to an all new SPEED NOTE READING TUTOR VIDEO GAME - designed to help the beginning percussion develop great music reading skills - PLUS 18 video lessons for the beginning timpanist, PLUS over 50 pages of additional sight-reading material.
