	Uses: I may be biased to this criterion since I was taught from this book in middle school, but I could see this book being used both by the teacher and the student in class since the playing examples are curated towards beginner students, and warm-up exercises along with play-along tracks are included with the book. In my experience as a young student learning with this method, I would say it is effective and very accessible to the teacher as they simply have to read from the book and have the students play along with the included tracks. That being said, consideration of the students’ pace of learning does have to be taken into account since the book is listed as a “twenty-five week” process. If some students are not progressing at the same rate as others, the whole class could be deprived of material found at the end of the book. I would say that this book could be used by middle school-level to maybe high school-level students, although it could be a bit too basic for some high school students so maybe only used for true beginners.

	Rating: While this book has a good progression system, I feel it lacks heavily on important information for the instructor which would not only broaden their understanding of percussion ensembles, but also give insight into how to introduce these concepts to their students. For these reasons, it may thrive in the hands of the students and be merely glanced at by instructors, with the instructors (hopefully) using a more in-depth method book for their personal guidance.
