Basic Musical Course for Percussion

Presentation

This program would be a possible reference point for students and teachers which are involved to study percussion from basic to admission level to Higher Music Schools.

Following this intention, I wrote a program for each instrument divided year by year on which are indicated a series of technical and reading aims with some reference methods.

I wish to specify that the indication of those methods are not binding, but their eventual substitution with others must pursue the same requested technical and didactical purposes.

The teaching method for children on age till eight - ten years old, where are suitable all those methods that   pursue a “revival” of musical qualities (rhythm, melody and harmony) to introduce children into sounds world, remains excluded from this basic.
