A great way to celebrate summer is to zip down a refreshing and fun waterslide! Now; you can relive that moment through this late-elementary piano solo. In the key of C major; slippery descending and ascending runs give the impression of shooting up; down; and all around a twisting slide. Alternating hands and glissandi provide an extra fun challenge for students. Look out below; and enjoy Water Slide!

Five StarsBy OOBest education tool for young drummers ever written; very hard for young beginners but worth the extra effort.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. One of the bestBy GaryTI started using this book when I first took lessons about 45 years ago and after 2 years of lessons I got tired of reading and just wanted to play by ear which I have done on and off ever since. About a year or so ago I decided to start learning how to read again and started taking lessons to do so. We use a variety of different books and when I am having trouble playing something I find that I will constantly come back to this book to practice the exercises that pertain to the problems I am having. I probably refer back to this book more than any other book I have and I think it is great for any level of skill or ability that you have. I regret not keeping up on reading like I should have years ago but its never too late to continue to learn and I highly recommend this book to anyone just beginning or who has been playing for years. Its only 8 bucks!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not Just for Drummers!!!By Walter G. LockIts a shame really that this book is titled "for the modern drummer".Any musician that plays different rhythmic patterns (which is pretty much all of them) will benefit greatly from this book. All the lines are in 4/4 time with steady quarter notes shown marking the "beat". So the exercises really consist of all the patterns shown on the top.Its a simple enough concept; but he had the good sense to write it all out for the rest of us. All your basic patterns: quarter notes; dotted eighths; 16ths; 16s mixed with 8s and all varied in order and with different rests so they come on different beats each time. As you progress through the book; the lines get more complicated and intricate until you get to the syncopated section.I remember this book from when I was a drummer in high school almost 30 years ago. Now I play rhythm guitar; and am looking to get away from the "standard" strumming patterns and get more creative. This book will help me do that. It will also help immensely with learning and playing leads and solos. It really doesnt matter if you play drums; guitar; sax; keyboard; bass; or mandolin this book will help teach you to recognize and play rhythms - and that is a key part of sight-reading.I guess the TL:DR version would be: If you play a musical instrument; get this book. It will be the some of the best use of money and time youll ever spend.
