Thank you! 1/18/23 - TEK Percussion Database is currently being updated to the new version of PHP and Mediawiki. The site will be under construction for the next few days and may be inaccessible. Please bear with me while I make this update. Thank you! 5/24/22 - for Contributors: Here are two shortcuts to creating a composer page {{subst:composers}} & a works page {{subst:works}} Also for creating categories at the bottom of each page, here are two pages that you can cut and paste into the page you are working on... this will help not have misspellings and mislabeling of categories. Common Categories & Common Works Categories Lastly, please feel free to use the talk pages on the profiles to ask questions or respond to discussion I have posted on your user name Talk page. 3/23/18 - Update: I have added a walkthrough for creating a composer page. It takes a little bit of patience learning how to do it, but once you have done a few of them it gets easier. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like me to help add some content. :-) Composer Page Walkthrough 5/01/15 - Update: TEK Percussion is currently expanding its contents to include sorted lists for Percussion Pedagogy, including authors of books on Snare Drum, Timpani, Mallets, Drumset, Methods Classes.
