More Hands On

This is a beginning book of percussion pieces designed to assist the teacher in providing a hands on experience with the sounds of African percussion ensembles. The collection is based on authentic pieces of music, however ho attempt has been made to notate the improvisation and variation that are inherent in African Drumming . As with any oral tradition even within a recognized piece of music, there are changes and variations so that no one version is the “correct “ one. A CD is included with the book.
