"For many years I have been fascinated with the beautiful rhythms of Latin America. Through my studies in Canada, United States, Cuba and Brazil, I began collecting these rhythms and experimenting with combinations, some provided to me by my mentors and others which I developed. Perhaps the most challenging aspects of learning rhythm is the study of independence... Since most North American students learn best visually, I decided to transcribe these patterns for myselfand my students.Afro-Latin Polyrhythms was subsequently created to provide a useful tool for any musician interested in refining and expanding their skill at playing polyrhythms. This book is divided in two parts. Part I involves rhythms that can be played on any surface which provides two distinct tones. For example your thigh, a table, chair, cymbal, cowbell, etc. The possibilities are endless. In learning these rhythms it may be helpful to first learn the patterns separately then try playing them together noticing where they occurtogether and in relation to each other. Part II contains more challenging and unusual combinations. Some of these rhythms incorporate two distinct tones with one hand, while playing one or two distinct tones with the other hand. These rhythms are intended for percussionists or those seeking more advanced independence exercises. Some of these polyrhythms furnish beautiful melodies. I leave it to the reader to develop their own polyrhythms and expand the potential of these exciting musical patterns which contain centuries of musical history." - author VERY cool, fun stuff!!!

Designed to be used by all levels of percussionists, this approach will help you gain immediate results in a musical contaxt.

COMPONENT 2 - RUDIMENTAL SOLOS Following each collection of rudiment exercises is a solo incorporating only that rudiment, while each solo gradually increases in difficulty from beginning to end.

The Groove Tracks offer a number of different tempos, styles, and feels, so the player can practice various exercises to an accompaniment of his or her choice.

Connecticut is one of the places where fife and drum corps do not operate in isolation: rather, they share repertoire, and sources of instruments and uniforms. They attend musters where they eagerly exchange all of the above. They observe unwritten ethics; they share fellowship in the fife and drum community. But does the communal repertoire change? Yes; gradual and regional change is natural and harmless. However, in recent years, several corps have imported whole repertoires from sources outside the region. To reject the regional repertoire is to reject the associated lore and performance practices, thereby dividing the community. In response, I identified the region's popular fife and drum music to serve as the body of this book. The book opens with tunes which are familiar to the general public; many are suitable for Civil-War events. Some music is more popular locally than regionally. On occasion, every corps scouts new tunes for the fringes of the repertoire. This book includes them, along with some original music. - Author REG. PRICE $32.95 BOOK w/CD $29.75
