Focusing on idiophones and membranophones, it covers in detail both Western and non-Western percussive instruments.

Starting Out Right: Beginning Band Pedagogy is the only complete resource for organizing, planning, and teaching beginning woodwind, brass, and percussion students. The book covers every aspect of teaching beginning band students from the first sounds on the instruments through the first full-band performances.

While the focus of the book is on teaching beginning band, much of the book can be of use to band instructors at any grade level.
