Review
"This text is the most thorough treatment of percussion pedagogy known to me. The thoughtful development of topics and the inclusion of progressive exercises and other supplemental materials are excellent."
"I tell my students that this book will be an invaluable reference source for them throughout their careers."
"I have been using this book in teaching the percussion methods class since 1989, at first recommending its purchase and since 1997, requiring its purchase. I try to emphasize to these students that they should keep this book after the end of the term rather than sell it back to the university book stores, as it's greatest value may be when they are no longer college students and are actually employed as music teachers."

Teaching Percussion The Easy Way!,
This review is from: Teaching Percussion (Spiral-bound)
I think this is a great book for those people looking to teach percussion. It contains information on every percussion instrument, marching percussion,concert percussion, rudiments, rythmic exercises, correct playing positions and lots of pictures for demonstrating various concepts. All in all a wonderful addition to any band director or future teachers shopping cart!

Great text, disappointing DVD,
This review is from: Teaching Percussion (with 2-DVD Set) (Spiral-bound)
The text is great, but the DVD is not very helpful. The DVD is a great idea, but it's all shot at one angle, and the clips are very short with little explanation. It demonstrates all the techniques, but not slowly so that you could see what's going on. The text on the otherhand is a must have for instrumental music educators, and a great reference.

This review is from: Teaching Percussion (with 2-DVD Set) (Spiral-bound)
this is an excellent book for learning percussion. The DVD's that are included really help with form and any questions you would have with the reading.
