This is a resource designed for teachers by teachers. The Percussion Blueprint is full of beginner percussion ensemble music made for students in their first few years of learning. It’s designed to make life easier for teachers, working as both a repertoire collection and an assessment toolkit.

Each piece introduces new musical skills step-by-step, with clear explanations and tips to help any music teacher feel confident teaching percussion. The flexible parts – covering mallets, snare drum, bass drum, and auxiliary percussion – mean it works for all sorts of classroom setups, whether you’ve got a full percussion section or just the bare bones.

The pieces in this essential text are suitable assessment pieces for Levels 1-3 of the curriculum and can be used to assess multiple students for different purposes at the same time.

Teachers can use this beginner repertoire to teach skills in context with simple, achievable, and fun pieces. Illustrations throughout the book help connect with young players and encourage visualization right at the start of their journey.

Perfect for group lessons or one-on-one teaching, this resource is about building solid skills while staying practical. It’s designed to save teachers time, help students stay on track, and make assessments a breeze. 51 pages.
