Student Reviews
I found this book to be outstanding. It gives good details about playing snare and the meaning of notes or what’s on the measures from the different tempos to note values. I would suggest this for a first year college student or maybe a junior or senior high school student. This book starts out very easy but gets very difficult the farther you get into it. However, towards the end it switches to teaching a student on how to play the timpani or tympani as its stated in the book. At the very end there is a music vocab at the end that seems very useful to a student.
