Foreword

The 15 solos were written as a companion to Fundamental Method for Timpani with the developing timpanist in mind, but can act as supplementary material to the simultaneous study of any method book. The intent of these pieces is to provide musical material that will give the progressing student a chance to put to practical use his or her developing technical skills, as well as demand a variety of musical styles and contexts. In addition, any of the following solos may be used as either contest or jury pieces. Finally, it is the author's hope that these pieces will be fun for the students to play.
