Written to include common challenges often encountered by today's timpanist. Meter changes, tuning changes and dynamic contrasts are carefully introduced throughout the collection.

"The goal of this book is to provide the beginning timpanist with a complete and comprehensive course of study covering all of the basic techniques involved in timpani playing. The approach presented herein is by no means to be interpreted as the only way to play timpani ... The book has been written under the assumption that the student has already developed a basic understanding of notation, pitch and rhythm, and has had some training on another percussion instrument"--Page 5

This is a complete and extensive method for timpani. Each essential skill is covered: * basic theory (the building blocks of all music) * technique and facts (from sticking, muffling, and rolls to instrument care) * intonation (tuning of intervals, scales, glissandos, three and four timpani exercises) * a large selection of standard symphonic timpani repertoire (from the classics of Beethoven, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, R. Strauss, Tschaikowsky, Wagner, and more)
(Meredith Music Percussion). In the preface to this book, educator and performer Ronald Horner notes that a fundamental approach to teaching students to play band or orchestra instruments is to present them with common melodies that incorporate the techniques to be mastered. He also notes the lack of materials available to apply this pedagogical concept to timpani, and redresses the balance with this collection of recognizable melodies expertly arranged for timpanists to develop pedaling facility on one, two, three and four drums. Topics covered with ample musical examples for each include: stepwise motion (one drum and multiple drums), chromatic intervals, triads, moving tones, scales and intervals, and more.
Techniques and etudes for developing the art of timpani playing for beginning students. A companion book to The Orchestral Snare Drummer and The Orchestral Mallet Player.
A collection of five recital-type pieces that can be prepared in a short amount of time. The solos are very diverse, yet address many technical and musical aspects of the instrument. The CD accompaniments offer an array of exciting, contemporary tracks, using many styles and grooves. The solos vary in degree of difficulty so soloists can enjoy them at any level and gradually progress with their solo skills.
Fifty advanced studies for timpani consisting of the maximum in rhythmical interest and dynamics. Based on the rhythms of Portraits in Rhythm for snare drum, these etudes make excellent pieces for exams or recitals.
