    The Importance of Timpani in Today's Percussion Education and as a Solo Instrument
    (North Dakota State University, 2014) Meyers, Nicholaus
    This study investigated the attitudes and beliefs of college educators and professional percussionists about the importance of timpani instruction for percussion majors at the undergraduate level. The results of a survey, in addition to other sources, were analyzed and showed a need for more education in properly preparing percussion students in the area of timpani. The particular areas discussed further within this study consist of: timpani in terms of the different types of timpani and their place in percussion education; timpani set up; grips and strokes; the stool, mallet choice, and ear training. Additionally, part of this study was geared around developing a recommended list of timpani solos appropriate for instruction in technique.
