The ‚Team' series is suitable for use with both individuals or as a group tutor encouraging students to try ensemble playing from the very early stages. All of the books in the series are fully integrated allowing students using ‚Team Percussion' to play in ensembles with students using ‚Team Woodwind', ‚Team brass', ‚Team Recorder' and ‚Team Strings'. ‚Team Percussion' is a flexible and adaptable course ideal for beginner percussionists. The tutor can be tailored to suit the specific needs of each student. Each piece is carefully graded to ensure a logical progression at a sensible pace and students are introduced to a wide variety of musical styles throughout the book. Imaginative Piano Accompaniments have been provided as well as helpful notes and clear ensemble scores to aid the teacher. ‚Team Percussion' caters for timpani, side drum and tuned percussion, together with an interesting selection of other percussion instruments. This volume comes complete with a CD of backing tracks designed to add a third dimension to practice sessions or performance when an accompanist is not available.
