Garwood Whaley's Audition Etudes should prove invaluable both to students of the percussive arts and to those who need to evaluate the player's art. The Etudes are another welcome addition to that literature by an increasingly responsible publisher. I believe that this book represents my very best writing. It is based on my total experience as a performer, conductor and educator. A collection of short, graduated studies for teaching or learning to read rhythms.
Exercises cover all fundamental rhythms, meters, and mixed meters.
Ideal as a supplement or primary reading method. Gar Whaley has outlined the basics of rhythm in an easy to read, highly effective manner. I can sincerely recommend this book to all music students needing solid rhythmical training.
