Percussion ensemble literature
is an ideal resource for demonstrating and applying musical and
technical concepts with percussion students.
Directors, using this medium, can
address instrument specific techniques, discuss stylistic
elements, rehearse ensemble balance and musical awareness, all
while challenging percussion students in an ensemble environment
where they function in primary, not just supportive, musical
roles.
The teaching sheets below provide specific information about
each piece including duration, difficulty, program notes, formal
structure, and musical and technical considerations. In
addition, the second page of each sheet addresses three possible
teaching points that can be used by directors and
percussion instructors to address specific concepts with their
percussion students.
