Ascension of Christ. After He was crucified, Jesus was taken up to
Heaven in his resurrection body in the presence of his Apostles

captive and gave gifts unto men." Ephesians 4:7-8.
Hokkaido Jishin is about the many earthquakes that have occurred in
or around the Hokkaido area in Japan over the past decades. This
composition is at times very loud to represent the power of the
earthquake. The percussionists should perform this piece with great
intensity throughout, even during the soft sections that are barely
heard to generate a sensation of reoccurring aftershocks. This
percussion ensemble is for 6 performers playing in the traditional
Taiko drumming style using instruments that are common to most
percussion studios. The Brake Drum part should use hard mallets for
a metallic sound, and the smallest available drums should be used
for the Snare Drum and Tom Tom parts. Tenor Drum 1, 2, and 3 should
use the largest available drum. Large floor toms or small bass
drums are preferable. Individual Parts are included with the score
All Things Come to Pass is a percussion quartet composed for bass
drum, claves, woodblock, and multiple-percussion (4 toms and
hi-hat). It is a very rhythmic piece with lots of interplay between
the four parts.

Congas Full Circle satisfies a missing link in percussion
literature. This is the first book for congas and hand drumming
that breaks down the patterns of various styles (almost 50 ) into
small sections that can be digested easier. Although there are many
high quality books for hand drummers, the books merely notate the
patterns without teaching the reader how to play the rhythms.
Congas Full Circle will fill that void. The book includes many
exercises to teach the reader how to play rudiments on congas while
improving your quality of sound. There are also examples of styles
for djembe, bata, bongos, and cajones with music spanning from
early African patterns to modern day Salsa and Timba. With almost
400 pages, this is the most comprehensive book on congas available.

music with Orff percussion instruments. It features thirteen
original, fully arranged pieces with scores, parts, vocal lead
sheets and free downloadable audio files. This makes it a flexible
teaching tool with many improvising opportunities and re-arranging
suggestions provided. The pieces vary in style from Boogie Woogie
and Jazz Ballad to Japanese and Symphonic. The compositions in this
book are designed to assist students make the transition from
learning music through singing, imitation, rote and movement to the
independent musician who can take a written part and read it, hear
it, play it, feel it, re-arrange it and improvise on it. Every
piece can be approached from either end of the rote/reading
continuum, or anywhere in between. The thirteen pieces are arranged
to be complete within themselves so that students can play them
without CD or teacher backing. They are aimed at upper primary and
lower secondary students and are graded from easy to more
difficult. Also, each piece contains easier and harder parts; thus
allowing for variation in student ability. The first few could be
taught aurally to students with little musical experience, but
generally the music is appropriate for students with some years of
music education. For more information about this great music

The Synergy Method is the combination of traditional techniques
along with psychophysiology, kinesiology and physiology to assist
the percussionist. Kinesiology and physiology have been studied
over the years in music but to understand what is happening
psychologically will also help build the physical attributes of the
performer. Many musicians in their career will reach a plateau. The
Synergy Method will help performers to go beyond their current
level. This book will be helpful for any audition you might have
whether it is drum corps, indoor drum line, marching band, or even
orchestra level auditions. Instructors can use the exercises with
the ensembles they are teaching to address specific concerns. The
Synergy Method will help the player achieve better performances by
utilizing an approach that will transfer to other percussion
instruments, something that cannot be effectively done with other
rudimental styles.
