A Fresh Approach to Mallet Percussion - Mark Wessels

Mark Wessels has created a logical approach for developing music reading skills, technique and musicianship on the keyboard percussion instruments. Students will have fun playing songs along with the play-along tracks which feature REAL percussionists performing ensemble arrangements – none of the cheesy midi computer sounds that you hear from so many other books.

In addition to over 90 pages of great reading studies, this book also includes a nine page supplemental “mini-book” for timpani – complete with instructions on the common techniques, exercises and solos for the beginning timpanist.

Players benefit from in-depth technical instruction on playing the keyboard percussion instruments, with clear explanations and practice guidelines that are important for mastering technique. Plus, the inclusion of the timpani mini-book provides invaluable information on effective timpani playing.

A Fresh Approach to Mallet Percussion, is a comprehensive and resource for developing the skills and knowledge necessary for success in playing mallet percussion instruments, so students can learn and master techniques with accuracy and confidence.
