The PAS Percussion Compendium is geared towards professionals of all ages and experiences, and offers everything from historical background to performance practices and common pitfalls on a plethora of literature prominent in modern high school and collegiate level percussion ensembles.
All of the articles are written by professionals with experiences that range from past performances to time spent with the composers. Several articles are written by the composers themselves, offering a unique opportunity for the reader to get a glimpse inside the mind of a composer.
In addition to these articles, chapters on score preparation, preparing for your first rehearsal, and percussion culture and how it relates to success can be found at the beginning of the book.
