By Matt H
I'm using this book in a primary school with KS2 children and it's brilliant. Everything is clearly laid out in six chapters - each covering a different percussion style (Samba, Salsa, Japanese Taiko etc.). Each chapter neatly lays out a series of sessions which build, in manageable steps, the required rhythms and techniques and end with a final performance. The CD and supporting materials are really helpful as are the illustrations. The children love it - we're planning an African drumming week after half term - can't wait.
