Habits of a Successful Beginner Band Musician - Percussion

Habits of a Successful Beginner Band Musician – Percussion is a field-tested, vital, and—most important—musical collection of 225 sequenced exercises for the beginning band student. The book’s cutting-edge online component, Habits Universal, features a backend gradebook that allows students to submit video recordings of their performances as a primary source of assessment. This gradebook is compatible with PowerSchool, Canvas, Google Classroom, Brightspace, Edmodo, Schoology, and many other platforms! Habits Universal also features supplemental rhythm vocabulary sheets, accompaniment tracks, video start-up clinics, and a professional video coach for each exercise in the book.

What makes Habits of a Successful Beginner Band Musician unique? Features include teacher tips for each exercise, diatonic solfege beginning on the first day of instruction, sequential rhythm charts embedded in the book, and technique and skill-building exercises woven throughout. Additional highlights include the introduction of Concert C (emphasizing B, E, and A), five keys (Concert B♭, E♭, A♭, C, and F plus Concert G), shaded boxes around first-time challenges, the sequential introduction of the one-handed breakdown of a percussion rudiment before introducing the rudiment itself, rhythm vocabulary that progresses through quarters, eighths, dotted rhythms, sixteenths, and an eighth and two sixteenths, and the use of the “enharmonic ladder” and “call-and-response game” to learn enharmonic notes.
