Band Expressions I Percussion (Expressions Music Curriculum[Tm]) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son took up drums this past fall (following in Mom's footsteps) and had to have this book for class. I wish my band director had required something like this! This book is stuffed full of technique, practice rhythms, and exercises for the beginning percussionist. Perfect!
