Check all percussion ensemble pieces available as “Performance Acceleration Packs”. In addition the the downloadable sheet music these piece are available including:

✅ Solo Acuracy tracks for all individual parts so students exactly know how their part is put together.
✅ Ensemble context (karaoke) tracks for all parts so students know their role in the ensemble even before the first rehearsal.

I used to put my sticks or mallets actually anywhere I could put them, causing angry looks from the conductor when they fell to the ground again in the middle of a rehearsal or even a concert.

Now I advise my students to bring a couple of black towels to rehearsals. It's the easiest way to convert a music stand into a trap table.

Black towels are also very useful to muffle a bass drum or wipe sweaty hands and foreheads as the tension rises.

I always used to keep my music stand fairly vertical because in this way I could read the sheet music well. I actually never thought from the audience point of view but rather how it worked best for me.

Nowadays I keep my music stand as flat as possible so everyone in the audience can see what I'm doing with my sticks and instrument. Express self-confidence and let your audience enjoy what you are doing.

Percussionists and their instruments are way too entertaining to hide behind a music stand.

A first percussion ensemble rehearsal can be a challenge because students often have no idea how the piece is supposed to sound.

Additionally, it’s difficult for them to understand their specific role in the ensemble while sight-reading.

Is the stress of those first rehearsals the reason you’ve been hesitant to start an ensemble or add a new piece to your ensemble’s repertoire? Then you should definitely check out this video!

To simplify your prep process, we want to provide more than just sheet music. That’s why we’ve created Performance Acceleration Packs (PAPs) for many of our (new) pieces. Each pack contains:

✅ Solo Accuracy Tracks: So students know exactly how their individual part fits together.
✅ Ensemble Context Tracks: So they immediately understand their role within the full group.
✅ Director’s Tech Guide: Recommendations for apps to loop, slow down, and master the repertoire.

The best part? Research shows that students who use audio tracks while practicing play much more accurately than those who practice without recordings.
