Another triumph in Paul Hose's tour de force Drumset for Beginners series! This book is an excellent beginners' book on the rudiments and applying them to the drumset to create grooves and includes an excellent classroom poster for quick reference. Starting out with suggested positions for holding the sticks, and how to get comfortable at the drumset, the authors then lay out the history of the rudiments and how the generally accepted Rudiments expanded over time to reach the 40 Rudiments that we know today. Covered are the various rudiment families Rolls and Ruffs, Diddles, Flams and Drags. All examples are accompanied by online videos and audio. This excellent and well thought out publication is a welcome addition for the young drummer and will get them off to a great start and moving down the road to having fun and becoming an excellent drummer.

Harr i Wessman (b. 1949) is interested in all aspects of music that may be expressive, without in any way ignoring the possibilities of melody. He himself describes his harmonic method as a kind of contrapuntally treated jazz harmony. During recent years pedagogic music has become a more and more central area in his output with an emphasis on creating repertoire for budding musicians, from beginners to young professionals. I don't write children's music. Stylistically I write in the same way as for professionals; technically, the pieces just have to be easier to play. Concertino No. 2 for piano and chamber orchestra was commissioned by a Finnish press house Yhtyneet Kuvalehdet Oy for the inauguration of their new office building in 1987. According to the original plan the concertino was to be used in an advertising film of the company. A melody with wide arch which can be heard in the midpoint of the piece, first played by the orchestra and then repeated with the piano, was intended to be the theme song of the film. The 10 minutes duration and small orchestra (flute, oboe, clarinet and strings) makes this one movement piece suitable also for young orchestra players.
