Coordinated rhythm and pitch etudes are presented, first separately, then together in an integrated and sequential manner. The material is presented in a clearly defined sequence of progressive rhythmic and key center challenges. Students work to master each level before going on the next level material. Audio tracks at slow and performance tempos are provided for every exercise. Books are available in C concert, Bb, Eb, bass, and percussion.

This book is written for and dedicated to every young musician who has made it their life’s work to become the best musician they can possibly be. The topics covered are those which I consider to be the most important to any young student. If I were to distill everything I have to say into one sentence it would be this: Be thoughtful and patient and get it right the first time, so that you can build on what you’ve accomplished and apply all your effort to improving as opposed to correcting bad habits. The first part of the book is divided into 11 chapters, each dealing with a particular topic. The second part is an appendix, which includes a number of worksheets that may be useful for putting into practice what was presented in part one. If this book helps even one student it will have been worth the effort. All my best to all music students everywhere.
