-== Program Notes ==
-Dance for 5 drums is a 5 – 6 minute solo percussion work.  Use any 5 drums you think will work. It did used to be called “Dance for tom toms and boo bams”, but I ditched this years ago after I realised<br/>
-a) that’s not a very snappy title.<br/>
-b) almost no one has access to boo bams.<br/>
-Since the name change it has gone on to be one of my more popular pieces.<br/>
-=== Performance Tips ===
-Try to play it from memory. If you have worked on it hard enough to perform it, there is a good chance you can do without the dots. If you find you need the music, try to set it up so you are not erecting a wall between you and your audience. Tempo is something people ask me about quite often with this one.  I don’t want to be too prescriptive, because I think performers should make the piece their own. However I think it is important that you pick a tempo that works for the whole piece. Definitely don’t play the first bits so fast you have to slow down later on!
-===Dynamics===
-In the opening section there should be 3 distinct dynamics happening at the same time <br/>
-) The repeated notes on the high bongo <br/>
-) The “tune” on the other drums <br/>
-) The bongo Accents <br/>
