#BandTeachers, it's time to review your #percussion inventory. This list from my Band Teacher's Percussion Guide (Oxford University Press) should help. Look to The Guide to answer your questions on playing and teaching percussion. Wishing you a successful year #MusicEd, #OUPMusic

Read Stewart's #Percussion Talk blog: Teaching and Playing #Paradiddles, and related videos - including Practising Paradiddles to help students focus on the finer points as they practise with Stewart in real time. #MusicEducation#OUPMusic#BandTeachers https://t.co/pvZur6h6Dr

Looking forward to the new doc, "#OscarPeterson: Black + White". #MusicEducators should watch out for the DVD, which could serve as an important intro to both #jazz and a towering musician that all #musicstudents (make that "everyone") should know. https://t.co/Fp6yyuUUJ3
Toronto's iconic #MasseyHall will soon reopen, but this isn't its first reconstructive surgery since opening in 1894. I explored the story in 2005 for Massey Hall's Performance mag. https://t.co/WKsul28ImK #torontohistory#torontoarchitecture https://t.co/WKsul28ImK
The rock group #Lighthouse and the #TorontoSymphonyOrchestra - with my dear friend Robin Engelman playing snare drum on the left - at #MasseyHall in 1970. Massey Hall, which opened on June 14, 1894, celebrates its 127th birthday today!
