This guide is for the Band Director who needs a road map to provide direction in all things beginner percussion pedagogy. I designed this to provide guidance through the fundamental percussion techniques you need to know in order to be a step ahead of your beginners. Starting with how to test and find percussionists, suggested equipment to get you and your class started, how your classroom should be setup, and the breakdown of fundamental snare drum and keyboard technique.
