Complimenting our popular pit reference by Jim Casella and Jim Ancona, UP FRONT, we are happy to now offer a lighter and significantly more affordable edition targeted directly to players – The UP FRONT Student Edition. While it contains only a fraction of the reference information found in the flagship book, this downloadable product includes the majority of “Technique” and “Exercises” chapters from the original, allowing percussion programs to use the curriculum in the book while each player has access to their own copy.
It’s nearly 80 pages of 2-mallet and 4-mallet exercises for keyboard, timpani concepts and exercises, including workouts for pitch and pedaling, and a basic theory appendix consisting of important musical components every pit member should know.
The UP FRONT Student Edition arrives just in time for summer band camp season to give your front ensemble the upgrade it needs!
