Brain Drain - Reading and Technical Method for the Intermediate Mallet Player
 
This book is designed to develop the musical capability of mallet percussionists by helping connect their technical training to music theory. This helps develop both reading skills and musical aptitude at the same time.
 
Students are guided through a method of color-coding in each chapter that helps them recognize visual patterns. They are also presented with a set of simple exercises, which are designed to be transposed into several keys, that help link technique and reading in a way that develops holistic musicianship.
