- Free downloads of audio recordings of all the pieces in Andy Gleadhill's Percussion Buddies Book
- Professionally produced performances
Above you can play the audio tracks that accompany Andy Gleadhill’s Percussion Buddies Book and you can also download them. The recordings are of all the audio tracks in the book. We recommend that you listen to the tunes either through headphones or good quality speakers as laptop and small loudspeakers will struggle to reproduce the lower frequencies and may sound rather “tinny”.
The Percussion Buddies Book, written by educator and professional percussionist Andy Gleadhill, shows teachers how to enable every pupil to participate fully and meaningfully throughout each class instrumental lesson, even if there aren’t enough main instruments to go round. The Percussion Buddies approach makes music budgets go twice as far.
Copies of all of the associated audio tracks are listed above in the SoundCloud player. You can download the complete set as a .zip file.
