Sound Innovations: Sound Percussion
Sound Innovations: Sound Percussion is an intermediate method series designed to build technical skills across the full spectrum of percussion instruments. Authored by Dave Black, the collection includes individual method books for snare drum, bass drum, mallet percussion, timpani, and accessory percussion, each paired with online media for flexible learning. The method books work standalone for private instruction or as a coordinated curriculum for band and orchestra percussion sections.

Things to consider
Start by selecting the method book that matches your student's primary instrument, then add the Teacher's Book if you're managing a full percussion section. The online media included with each book means you can use these for private lessons or group classes without purchasing separate accompaniment tracks. Pair individual method books with the corresponding ensemble books when your students are ready to apply technique to ensemble performance.
