Reviews
- This new edition of Emil Richards' classic method book, originally self-published in 1992, is a brighter, cleaner edition of the text. The original 33 sightreading etudes are here with brief explanations and performance notes. Each of the etudes has a jazz tilt complete with chord changes. Primarily written for two mallets, the book includes four four-mallet etudes. While some of the etudes are in odd meters such as 10/4 and 11/8, most are in common meters and the phrases are clear and enjoyable to play. These etudes are designed for the intermediate musician and would be an excellent resource for sight-reading material. Written by one of the all-time studio greats of percussion, this is an essential resource with which students can stretch their reading and improvisation skills. No studio should go without it!
