Teaching percussion instruments in elementary school settings presents unique challenges. Development of reading skills, musicality, technique, and listening skills are often cited as concerns. Materials selected by educators can facilitate or encumber the process. This study examined the characteristics of beginning methods materials from the perspective of college level percussion teachers. The ideal beginning percussion method book as described by the survey respondent group appears to have much in common with materials traditionally used over the past fifty years. There is an acknowledgement of the need for a new approach, but this study indicates that while college level percussion teachers make such an acknowledgement, they wish to retain the proven methods of the past.
