Though not an end in itself, the rudimental approach is a means to developing stick facility. ‘The following rudimental style etudes were written employing tra- ditional rudimental techniques, and in most instances the rudiments are used in traditional manner. Where the etudes do depart from tra~ dition is in the use of time signatures. Rather than the use of stan- dard 2/4, 4/4, and 6/8, meters, 5/8, 7/8, 11/8, and other less common time signatures are used. It is hoped that the etudes will provide the student with a tech- nical as well as mental challenge and at the same time, furnish him with some interesting rhythmical studies. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mitchell Peters, now principal timpanist and percussionist with the Los Angéles Philharmonic, was principal percussionist with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. He joined the Philharmonic in 1969, and is a member of the Philharmonic New Music Group. He holds the perforner's certificate, bachelor's and master's degrees from the Eastman School of Music, where he was a student of William Street. He is the author of numerous works for percussion, both instructional materials and performance works, and operates a company that publishes percussion materials by many well-known con- posers. \ Mr. Peters is the percussion instructor at UCLA, where in ad- dition to teaching privately, he conducts the Percussion Ensemble. He is also on the music faculty at U.S.C., where he directs the Percussion Ensemble and teaches a percussion master class.INDEX Easy Etude In 5/8 5/8 Downfall Odd Meter Rudimental Etude # 1 (5/8) Odd Meter Rudimental Etude # 11 (7/8) Odd Meter Rudimental Etude # III (6/8 & 3/4) Odd Meter Rudimental Etude # IV (9/8) Odd Meter Rudimental Etude # V (Mixed Meters) Odd Meter Rudimental Etude # VI (5/4) Odd Meter Rudimental Etude #VII (11/8) Odd Meter Rudimental Etude # VII (10/8) Rudimental Study In 2/8 Rudimental Study In 3/8 Copyright 1967 by MITCHELL PETERS, 5747 Melshire Drive, Dallas, Texas 75230Easy Etude In 5/8 Mitchell Peters 5 5 > Foe > > > > F tRERTER *eRR*tR “ER“ERL'RL‘ALL ‘RIL RA > 2 oF > > AK > ae SURSCTRIR op ‘RERL‘RL ‘A TRERLIR > 2 > AA > o> > “RERL RCL CRERL RUALR ptRERL RL SA REAL SRL cresc, Crese. > ae > pee! > A > TRE ARIEL ta TRE RL TR gtA TAT R RL RT ALR MCRL > A > > > > > A RYRL RTRER CREMUUR CIRCRL ERR A iseatan. cy a "OTR TAR SEREL > > > i RRL RORLER “RLERR SL mp REMERL SRL carga iebe RURAL ARR “cAUACR LOL 5 ; 5 ue r T <= i RUERSLAL SR L LR ALRUR FLL tRtERL RELL AR 5 > 5n 5 55 55 4 A Syd > 5 SF “ar RELAL AA ®ERL Lb > aU aatanin 4 LL tRERL ‘RLLRR TORR EL q EL RAT 5 a> > > > ‘RL LCACR* R RLERLRA LR 4 4 LR > Loop RE RE > Ar > > > > > RLARLARL R REAL RL LALA LR RERLRA LALL Z Toa > ——— i P , Sire Sb 40 neers isms Ste 18 R ae518 Downfall Mitchell Peters Lo >> yest > > a> ms SOUL CR LOR R S> RRR ‘LR LL RAL SRLRLR L > > > > > BLTRACRURSL “RARSTREL RAL RERER SIR RPL SR >.> > p> SCUARSCREREL pW RR AL REL RAL SRERUTR SEULIRTL AR eet >» F> 5> > SOTR SOREL TRL OL TREL5 > > Sma reey: > > >. > > > ce Ce ot LEAR MTR LL SRL RT RIOR pt LEtR*®L RR SLTR SL RLAL 2) >> > Z> >> > Sons ps Lor tRAL BRERRUEREREE SR Tia fy > > > > ta FL tp RERR RCRCALL “RURR CREREL “RORL A ORLA $ dim 7 5 > > w ry R t a ALR URURL RERR SURCALL SRURR Selah 8 LLARERAL 4 2 A ‘RAL ROL “RAL SR fEL LOR RRL re ORR I> > crescendo RoR MEER STR MLTR Lop REAR SERURLL 'RURR *LRLR LL crescendo > F [> > > Ll agg “Rou cRURe REL SR OL ‘RRL tg teODD METER RUDIMENTAL ETUDE #1 Mitchell Peters > 5 5 p RE RAR TLR “LRL ‘Re CACRL REUERURL ‘RL ‘RR R f > i> > > 7 SLR URL TRERA Song L ‘a eRE RT “MR LOL OR neat. —<—=— >_> > 0.
