(Percussion). The Hal Leonard Glockenspiel Method is designed for anyone just learning to play the glockenspiel. This easy-to-use guide provides step-by-step lessons and meticulously graded music by leading percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie. Video tutorials, demonstration audio, and accompaniment backing tracks are also included, making this book ideal for individual or group learning. Concepts include: *Music reading skills * The geography of the glockenspiel * Positioning, posture, and holding mallets * Striking the bars * Sticking * Playing melodies: steps and skips * Dynamics * Mallet technique * Double stops * Hand independence * Hand dampening * Sound effects * Original compositions by Evelyn Glennie * Video tutorials, demonstration audio, and accompaniment backing tracks
Good book if you have some musical background. It's very long and covers a lot of material. I would recommend buying a full size glockenspiel if you intend to do this book because a lot of the songs use very high notes.
