Rollinson's Modern School for Orchestra Bells (Glockenspiel) (Classic Reprint)

Preface. A lthoug-h similar in scale to the xylophone the orchestra bells are neither intended nor adapted for rapid execution. I believe that even the bass drummer should understand melodic forms and be able to play some melodic instrument. Otherwise he is playing blindfolded and is uneven in his stroke. In this work I have introduced technical study requiring-considerable execution for I think it necessary in order that the student may acquire freedom and even power of stroke and become ambidextrous. I have included many melodious studies intended to educate the player musically instead of mechanically for I believe that unless the drummer is a musician he is a failure. The brain should be disciplined as well as the hands. T.H.ROLLINSON.
