Timpania Grade 2 (Digital Copy) FambroughThis publication for eight players, is an interesting and creative work for the beginning percussion ensemble, featuring the timpanist. This is a fun work that sounds great and comes together very quickly. The parts are of mixed difficulty so there is a part for any level of student. Many parts can be easily doubled in increase the size of this ensemble from eight to twelve players. TIMPANIA works well with a large younger ensemble of mixed abilities

The majority of these pieces have either a rhythmic interdependence

the child then hums the song mentioned above beginning at measure 26 as a kind of comforting lullaby to themselves

which are inextricably tied to jazz music

There are also ample one measure repeat signs

and Chester Doodle (Yankee Doodle) Students and audiences will enjoy these three favorites

Listen to Camptown Races

beginning at measure 33

and "Up On The House Top" (seven players)

They resume the piece on cue

thereby creating a 3/4 feel for much of the time

such as the taiko drums with marching drums or toms of different pitches

Try using different stick sizes to give performances more color
