Summary of This Method
Designed as an educational collection, this method provides a clear framework to develop the essential foundations for percussionists: rhythmic reading, coordination, attack precision, and timing. The targeted instrumentation "Mallet Percussion / Timpani" makes it a particularly relevant resource for students alternating between keyboard percussion (mallet work) and timpani, whether in music school, wind orchestra, or a practical instrumental music training program.
The "Horen, Lezen en Spelen internationaal" collection emphasizes an accessible progression that connects ear training, reading, and playing. This approach helps students understand what they play, stabilize tempo, and build confidence from the very first pages. The VERY EASY to EASY level allows for establishing good habits (grip, consistency, articulation, dynamics) without rushing, while providing material suitable for lesson work, assessments, and initial repertoire goals.
Thanks to its multilingual presentation (English-German-French-Dutch), this collection easily integrates into various educational contexts and facilitates the communication of essential instructions. Authored by Jan de Haan, this 2001 publication is aimed at those seeking a simple, progressive method focused on "learning by doing" for mallet percussion and timpani.
