Description

Sound Percussion, a member of the Sound Innovations family, addresses the need for a thorough percussion method that offers a structured progression of notes, rhythms, and skills suitable for both group and individual instruction. With its clear and adaptable framework, the method provides ample reinforcement through various resources, including Teacher's Score, Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Mallet Percussion, Timpani, and Accessory Instruments. The curriculum is divided into seven sections, encompassing everything from instrument setup to ensemble performance, allowing directors to navigate the material sequentially or selectively based on their students' specific educational requirements. Notably, the mallet percussion book follows a more linear progression in introducing notes. Skills are developed using a backward-by-design approach, where learning objectives are established first, followed by logically structured exercises that facilitate the achievement of these goals, particularly beneficial for mallet note recognition and snare drum rolls. Overall, Sound Percussion serves as a valuable resource for teaching essential percussion fundamentals, and it is available through MakeMusic Cloud.
