"When we approach music wholistically, we learn the whole song first, then peel away the layers to find out what it's made of. In the process, we also learn how to play it -- with meaning." |

Preface
Whole Music Drumming is a percussion method which follows the basic theory that the best way to study music is through a whole-part-whole concept. Start with the whole song, break it into parts, then put it back together as a whole. Whole Music Drumming is organized in seven parts, plus a curriculum, and an appendix:
| * Technique and Drum
Set Beats which deal with the technical part of
drumming * Rhythmic Concepts -- the vocabulary of rhythm * The Written Phrase -- reading and writing presented in the context of the musical phrase * Song Journal, Tonality and Improvisation utilizing musical examples to reinforce all the other parts * a Unit Curriculum grid for guiding the teacher through this book * the Appendix -- glossary, drum buying guide, how to set up your home practice studio and essays. |
Whole Music Drumming has been organized to achieve a balance between the conceptual, the musical and the technical. All the parts of WMD are meant to be used together – more or less at the same time. Do not go through WMD in book order.
READ THE INTRODUCTION FIRST In order to understand how this book differs from all the others and really get a grasp on this concept, try to restrain the desire to skip ahead and read the Introduction first. You may never view music in the same way again.
Following the Introduction is the Unit Curriculum which
takes all seven parts of WMD and integrates them onto a time line of
approximately one school year. If carefully followed, it gives both teacher and
student a step by step understanding of how to use Whole Music Drumming.
Whole Music Drumming includes lifetime online support.
