Who it's for

What's inside

• Books, digital downloads, online audio, and DVD formats

Things to consider

Start your students with a method matched to their current level: Alfred's Beginning Drumset Method or Book 1 of Alfred's Drum Method work well for first-year players, while Progressive Steps to Syncopation and The Art of Bop Drumming suit intermediate to advanced drummers ready to study style-specific technique. If you're teaching ensemble or band, pair individual method books with mallet percussion and timpani resources to round out your section's musicianship. Check the format details for each title: some include online audio or companion conductor scores that amplify their teaching value.
