Things to consider
Start with the individual instrument book that matches your student's primary percussion focus, then add the corresponding ensemble book once they've grasped the fundamentals. The online media included with each book provides essential audio references for rhythm and technique. If you're directing a full percussion section, consider purchasing the teacher's book alongside the individual books to coordinate pacing and select appropriate ensemble material.
