A Fresh Approach to Mallet Percussion

by Mark Wessels • 2004

Provides a basic introduction to the most common mallet percussion instruments, playing position, and grip and stroke of the mallet before proceding to lessons on reading music, counting quarters, and music theory. This book is especially written for the beginning mallet percussionist who has yet to develop any bad habits, but can also be used by older students to improve skills. Students will have fun playing songs along with the play-along tracks which feature REAL percussionists performing ensemble arrangements.
