Rhythmic Designs

Rhythmic Designs is a collection of fifteen progressively challenging etudes. Each etude presents musical material and technique required of today's performers. There is an abbreviated notation and a poly-rhythmic analysis section that provides a clear educational interpretation of the many basic and complex "Rhythmic Designs" found in the etudes and solos.

Every etude is written as if it were a small solo so they are suitable for audition or festival. Performers will find each etude enjoyable to play, challenging and of high educational value. The three acclaimed solos included are: "Two Short Pieces", "Nikita Dawn", and "The Rifleman". This method book is truly designed for the 21st century musician and educator.

A historical tribute to Paul Price is the forward of this outstanding method book. Also included is a partial listing of notable percussionist, composers, and educators worthy of study.
