Récréations Vol.1. 12 studies to begin the timpani – Daniel Sauvage

“An excellent method for beginning timpani in the first year of percussion. “. Percussions.

“We all know that within the orchestra the timpanist has an essential role to play, he is the relay between the conductor and the musicians
Nowadays, students have the opportunity to play in orchestra classes as early as the first level, and percussionists are starting to learn timpani at an increasingly early age.

The literature available to us is rich, but often not well suited to young students.

These “Recreations” are the fruit of 25 years of teaching experience.

Enjoy playing them and always keep in mind these three tips: – a good position to play well – always look for a nice sound – a timpanist should be pleasant to watch playing (think about this sentence!)

Welcome to the fabulous world of timpani…

Dear colleagues: In order to be able to work on the technique, I have added some preparatory exercises. The fingerings, when mentioned, are not exhaustive. In order not to overload the texts, there are no expressions, it is obvious that you can add some. Do not hesitate to use platforms when the students are still small, it facilitates the typing and the gestures.

Bonne frappe à tous… ”
