A list of well-known classic percussion texts along with a few of my favorites, suitable for the developing percussionists.
Required Books for the Percussion Music Library: Beginner
Suggested mallets for the High School band
Suggested mallets for the Middle School band
Mallets best suited for the middle school/junior high band have been selected for smaller hands with less developed muscles, while still producing excellent sound quality and offering the opportunity for high-level musical expression in the ensemble setting. In addition, durability and flexibility are a key concern in the younger band setting.
