Learning challenging musical pieces is one of the most effective ways to learn an instrument. The Performance Studies series of books presents challenging solos for study and performance.
 
Foundation Studies, the first in the series, introduces foundational vocabulary common across all styles of snare drum performance. Rudimental vocabulary, accents, contemporary techniques, compositional concepts, and musical devices are progressively introduced across 20 studies that span many styles, meters, and traditions.
 
The pieces present an array of challenges, including different roll types, tuplets and odd time signatures, syncopated rhythmic themes, and diverse stylistic ideas. New students will find a rigorous introduction to snare drum performance, while experienced players will find challenging passages and new ideas to invigorate their repertoire.
