Reviews

Student Reviews

I think this book is important for the professional musician because most instruments did have a part to play in the Baroque and Classical era and we should be able to play the same repertoire. Also, there is a lot of music theory that came from these time periods that percussionists could work and improve on. Although, it’s not exactly working on any particular technique, but the book is good for what it is intended for.
