Volu me 4: Rhythms with ternary subdivisions (12/8, shuffle, etc.), fills, accentuations. This method focuses on understanding rhythms in relation to tempo and different phrasing. Each part begins with a clear and complete foundation, followed by an extremely methodical, comparative and step-by-step presentation of all the new techniques. Real drum scores that sum up the material in song form are inserted every twenty pages. To study this method, a prior knowledge of music theory is not necessary. After a summary of the basic music theory, the new rhythms are introduced gradually, which makes it possible to learn rhythmic reading very gradually. The rhythms, fills and scores are mixed, gradually increasing in difficulty, such that a beginner drummer can start playing in a group from the very beginning. More experienced drummers can start the method at any place depending on their level. The logical presentation requires little explanatory text and makes it quick and easy to understand. Each subject is presented on one or two pages to avoid page-turns. This method has four volumes. Although they are connected by a progressive common thread, each volume can also be approached separately and is suitable for both beginners and more advanced drummers.

This publication combines book 1 and 2 of this innovative, popular method. It provides a highly organized, systematic approach to reading and understanding rhythm for the beginning-intermediate percussionist. Basic rhythm patterns including counting system and foot-taping indications are introduced on each page in 8-measure studies followed by a short solo serving as a page summary and motivational tool for students. Volume 2 continues, adding flams, drags, roll studies, syncopation, and 8th & 16th note triplets. Both books conclude with a graduation solo suitable for concert performance. Book 2 also includes a graduation duet and technique builders to develop strength, flexibility and control. Great as a band-method supplement or stand-alone method.

Benham has been in music education for over forty years and has worked as an advocacy consultant saving and building music programs for thirty years. His advocacy work and the methods presented in this book have saved $70 million in proposed music cuts, equivalent to approximately 2,000 teaching positions and 500,000 music students.

The book is a wealth of information and is highly recommended. —Mary Wagner, chair, Fairfax Arts Coalition for Education, and National ASTA past president   As a music retailer who has worked closely with John L. Benham for over ten years, I appreciate his discovery of reverse economics. It is brilliantly simple and proves the financial efficacy of a healthy music department! Every instrument retailer needs to share this vital resource with all of their school customers. This is the manual that every music department needs to fully support their program. The information needs to be shared with your school board every year.  —Doug Schmitt, vice president of music education, Schmitt Music Stores.

SKU: BT.EMBZ308

Composed by Zoltan Kodaly. Folk Music. Book Only. Composed 1951. 336 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ308. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ308).

ISBN 9789633307779. Hungarian.

Kodál y summarized the significance of folk music in the preface to the first edition of this publication: ''It is such an integral part of the life of a healthy nation that we find it everywhere: it is present in art, in public education, in the manifestations of social life. It is always a sign of the stagnation of national life when folk music is pushed into the background in some way. One of the most important guidelines for learning about Hungarian folk music today is Kodály's summarical study. In a short summary, it explores the most important features, problems and origins of Hungarian folk music. It describes different genres, types, and occasions for folk songs and folkdance music while also addressing the matter of collecting folk music. The overall usefulness of the study was greatly enhanced by the example library compiled by Lajos Vargyas and first printed within the 1960 edition.
