W21PR - Standard of Excellence Book 1 Drums and Mallet Percussion - Book Only (Standard of Excellence Comprehensive Band Method)

We bought this book for for a 10 year old boy just starting to learn to play percussion. This was also recommended by most of his teachers and is really beneficial for starters. Has basic sheet music to intermediate level and the kid can move up to the blue book once done with this book.

At the time of writing this review, this product title reads Book 1 Standard of Excellence Comprehensive Band Method; but the first image is misleading because the image shows a blue book (which is Book 2). I trusted the Amazon title not the image. I ordered, and it is indeed the red book 1.

Nice big size, clear print, easy to read. Has great pics of notes on each instrument.

It's a great learning book for my nine-year-old. All aspects of reading music and hand placement, etc. are covered. Two page spread has left side for drums and right side for "bells". Easy to read and understand. I'm thinking about getting another...one for school & one for home.

Arrived on time in excellent condition.

This book was just what my son needed for his first band class in middle school.

We buy all of our music books from Amazon as they are the same price as any store and they come right to our door.This book is what our elementary band teacher uses it and my child is enjoying it very much.

Purchased for my daughter. Came in perfect condition. Exactly as described.
