The Repertoire a high definition, comprehensive, video library of all the standard percussion repertoire. The ultimate resource and study guide for all percussionists. In total, the series covers over 80 of the most commonly asked percussion excerpts in professional orchestra auditions.
Each excerpt is available as a performance only video recording; for those looking for a quick reference to use in the practice room as well as a tutorial video. The tutorial video is much more expansive and discusses all of the decisions you need to make when preparing each excerpt. They also go into common mistakes, how to approach and perform the work, and what to look out for.
There has never been a resource at this level and of this quality in the orchestral, percussion world.
