I have written for you, the student, a series of exciting and stimulating studies for various percussion instruments. Click through to see if there is one (or more!) for you. Cheers! Nigel.

Read information about instrumentation, performance and aptitude levels and to see a sample of each set.

Here are the ones I have done so far:

• Five Etudes for Triangle
• Five Solos for Snare Drum
• Five Etudes for Multi-percussion
• Seven Etudes for Tambourine 
• Five Backward Pieces for Xylophone or Marimba
• • Six Pieces for Xylophone or Marimba
  • Forty-four Exercises for Pedal Timpani

These offer practical solutions in getting students to problem solve the various technical and musical issues which multi-percussion writing can throw up.

• Coming soon:
• Eight Melodic Swing Etudes
• Six Etudes in Semi-quavers
• Contemplation for Solo Marimba
• Melodic Swing Etudes
• Reading Studies for the Xylophone
• Concert Etudes - work in progress
• Overture Studies
• Five Studies in Syncopation
